It’s been a busy week — lots of photos to sor

It’s been a busy week — lots of photos to sort through and cull, edit, send off to various interested parties. And it has been lots of fun too, particularly given the variety of sports involved — my first swimming carnival of the season along with plenty of basketball and cricket

But what that has meant is I haven’t been able to find time to upload anything to the website — hopefully that will happen at some point tomorrow which, if it does, I will confirm on these pages

In the meantime it is the mid-week mash up with photos from last weekend’s GPS basketball and cricket vs Sydney Boys

The 2nds extended their recent winning streak by d

The 2nds extended their recent winning streak by defeating Sydney Boys 58 30 — their third victory on the trot — and, as a result, remain just one game behind the joint leaders, Riverview and Newington

This weekend’s round against Shore should provide a stern test for the boys given their loss after looking to have the game in the bag when they first played in Round 1

Ahead of the Christmas break it should be a cracker match to finish proceedings for the term. (Get that? Cracker. Christmas. Dad joke)

The 1sts started the season with three wins on the

The 1sts started the season with three wins on the trot then, despite playing some great basketball, lost the next three, a couple of which could easily have gone the other way

Therefore, with the season at the half way mark and the win/loss record all square, last Saturday was an important game for the boys — and they came out all guns blazing against Sydney Boys High and hardly took their foot off the pedal (if that is, indeed, basketball terminology) as they ran out winners 91 53

A great boost as they turn the corner and head for home (albeit with an 8 week break for the Christmas holidays in the middle of it!)

Three wins from three matches which indicates that

Three wins from three matches which indicates that despite the weather being, as they say, inclement the cricketers did eventually manage to get out of the sheds and onto the pitch

And pitch is probably the operative word — although the sport being played should have been rugby rather than one for flanneled fools given the condition of the ground in places. A few of the local supermarkets will face a run on OMO and bleach this week if the gear is to reclaim its pre - match status of being called “whites” before next Saturday

Sawdust. Rags for drying the ball. Super soppers. Sweaters. (Relatively) high ISO’s. But, most importantly, a result

Scots won the truncated game — somehow they managed to sneak 35 overs in for each side — by 50 runs with the highlight being “Pup’s” undefeated century — including a hat trick of sixes that helped get things going after a slow start

Over in the relative warmth and comfort of the basketball court the 1sts returned to the winners list with a 91 53 win; the seconds kept their win streak going with a 58 30 victory

And so ends the first half of the season with all three sides well placed as we head into the back half. Next Saturday Shore visit Scots but, given the way the weather looks, the cricketers may yet again struggle to get out of the blocks; time will tell

This week marks the half way point of the 2023/24

This week marks the half way point of the 2023/24 summer sport season and, given they have not yet been played, Sydney Boys High awaits

Whilst there will certainly be two basketball matches tomorrow there remains a doubt as to whether the weather (is that phrasing correct?) may play a part and cause the cricketers to end up sitting around thumb twiddling

Either way, it has been a good start to the season for all three teams with plenty of positives to take into the second half of the fixture — along with some learnings too

After a couple of days of being AWOL I am back on deck and, therefore, Flashback Friday can hit the streets once more and provide you with a good start to the weekend.

Another come from behind win for the seconds which

Another come from behind win for the seconds which sees them slide into third place on the ladder — only bested by Joey’s and Newington who, together, sit on top of the table a game clear

The boys have found some good form after an early season hiccup or two but have a couple of tough ones against the chasing pack that will test them out before we break for the Christmas holidays

A day earlier than normal but I have uploaded the images from the basketball and the 1st XI matches to the website — peterwade.photography under the Recent Shoots tab

A disappointing day for the cricketers as they went down to King’s and, in so doing, recorded their first loss of the season

Having been set 202 runs to win the boy’s started their chase well but, after losing a couple of wickets, became bogged down — and, eventually, succumbed to the scoreboard pressure (A bit similar to another match played over the past 24 hours?)

Having said that, they remain on top of the ladder after six rounds, albeit now tied with King’s

Still plenty of cricket to play - and between now and March much can happen

Nothing lasts forever — or so they say But yest

Nothing lasts forever — or so they say

But yesterday proved the saying to be correct as the 1st XI suffered their first defeat for season 23/24 when they went down to King’s by 38 runs. All is not lost as the boys remain on top of the table, equal with yesterday’s victors

In the basketball it was a day of mixed results — the 1sts lost by six points and have balanced the ledger, being three and three; the 2nds did it the hard way once more but, in the end, managed to win by six points — and now find themselves sitting in third only one game behind the joint leaders, Newington and Riverview

Today’s photos are from the 1st basketball

Tomorrow we head out to King’s for what has to b

Tomorrow we head out to King’s for what has to be the biggest Saturday of sport so far this season —

The undefeated cricketers have a top of the table clash against the 2022/23 Premiers and both the 1st and 2nd basketballers face must win matches if they are to keep in touch with the competition leaders

Lots to play for

Today we feature some images from the corresponding round last season
