This year’s Colts cricket team was made up of some of the most dedicated and resilient Year 9 and Year 10 boys. Their commitment and determination each week has been truly impressive. As a team, they’ve grown from being strangers to becoming a close-knit group, and their skills and abilities have consistently improved over the course of the season. The boys have earned frequent praise for their excellent sportsmanship from opposing teams, which is a testament to their character. We will miss Benji, Caleb, Daksh, and Saiteja as they move into the Senior Grades, but we’re excited for what next year’s Colts cricket season will bring!

Most importantly, it has registration forms for each code for next year so if you are interested in signing up for a sport use the registration link on that sports page. We can then send you all the information about that sport.
Make sure to register as soon as you can as we will be having some sport trials at the end of this year for the 2025 summer season as it starts very early in Term 1.

A defiant 50 from Ruben Frederikson and a trio of wickets from Joel Sutherland weren’t enough for the Selwyn 2nd XI to take out the heavyweights of their pool, Macleans College. With the weather threatening, Selwyn chose to bat first. Despite the challenges of the grass wicket, and some exuberant on-field chat from the opposition, the boys started confidently at a decent strike rate. However, a flurry of wickets saw things looking precarious at 41/4. Ruben Frederikson took on the task of steadying the ship, slowly building his innings. He received good support from Andrew Lim (17), Zach Lambert (16), Alex Malan (15) and Hamish Valentine (14*). Falling shortly after reaching his fifty; Ruben had done the work to get the team to a respectable 180 all out.
Andrew Lim skittled their opener with his first ball, and together with Zach Lambert delivered a good start in the field having Macleans at 26/2 after 8 overs. Undeterred, the next pair of batters started to take the game away from Selwyn - sending fielders into the bushes and long grass searching for balls on numerous occasions. Then Joel Sutherland stepped up and delivered a great spell, snaring 3 wickets in his five overs, and bringing Selwyn back into the game. With the score at 153/6 thanks to a Rocco Fisher wicket, the boys searched for more scalps to claim an improbable victory. Alas, it was not to be, and Macleans cruised to victory in the 31st over.
Well done to the boys, playing on grass for the first time this season, and taking to the game with a great attitude. Everyone is looking forward to the final game of the season next Saturday.

The Selwyn College Boys 1st XI will remain in the 1A Secondary School Limited Overs competition in 2025!!

Following their win over Lynfield College a couple of weeks ago and Lynfield College losing last week the boys secured their playing card for the competition in 2025.

The season was punctuated with a 38 run loss yesterday to a desperate Rangitoto College who played like their position in the 1A competition depended on victory.

Bowling first Aahaan Melant produced good figures of 8 overs 3 for 22 and in his last game Callum Blyth picked up 3 wickets as well for the second season in a row securing his position as Selwyn College top wicket taker.

With the bat also in his last game Blair Sue scored 43 before he was the last man out caught at deep cover.

Ultimately for Selwyn College the result was purely academic as in the end it was a chance to farewell four Year 13 students who have made a huge contribution to Selwyn Cricket over the years. Daniel Pluck (outstanding skipper and leader), Blair Sue (wise and has produced outstanding performances with both bat and ball), Callum Blyth (huge heart and effort and top wicket taker with the ball) and Sammy Bridge (Selwyn's enforcer with the ball, excellent pace and bounce and an ever developing batter) all contributed in their own ways over the last few years and will be hugely missed as they move on in life's journey.

Lastly, an enormous thanks to team manager JP Randall. JP is on hand rain, hail or shine and is completely dedicated to the success of the team and Selwyn College and we remain hugely grateful for his enormous effort.

With that, the 2024 season is over and we look forward to what 2025 brings.

The Girls 1st XI Cricket Team completed their season last night. Facing a talented Glendowie team, our girls struggled to stay with them throughout the match - losing by 48 runs.
At the end of the game, we farewelled our year 13 ladies; Ruby, Hannah and Meg, who have all given three wonderful years of service to girls' cricket at Selwyn and will all be sorely missed next year.
Player of the day was Caylee Link, who finished with 1 for 30 with the ball and top scored with 19 with the bat. She is pictured with last week's POD, Carys Silva.
We also farewelled coach Ms Parr-Thomson who is leaving Selwyn College at the end of this year. We wish her all the very best for the next stage in her career and thank her for her significant contribution to the team.
Trials and training will start up again early next year/term. All girls interested in playing cricket are more than welcome to attend. Bring your friends! It would be awesome to have 2 teams next year if possible, a Junior and 1st XI.
Have a great summer break!

The Selwyn 2nd XI took full advantage of their first home game this season. The boys were happy to be put into bat by Botany, keen to set an emphatic total on home soil. Daniel Mansfield (36 from 33 balls) and Liam Maclachlan (48 from 49) set a good starting pace. But the star of the show was Keshan Korala who carved out an incredible 133 from just 86 balls, including 18 fours and 5 sixes. He chose his shots well, finding gaps with ease, and sending the Botany fielders searching through the undergrowth to find the ball on numerous occasions. Supporting him were Hamish Valentine (28 from 29 balls); and Rocco Fisher (18) who rotated the strike nicely in his 100 run partnership with Keshan. Eventually falling to a catch at deep cover, Keshan left the field to the congratulations (and relief) of the opposition and applause from everyone on the sidelines.
Botany chasing down the final Selwyn total of 306/6 was a low chance - and tight bowling in the open spell made it more or less impossible. Andrew Lim allowed a miserly 9 runs from his 5 overs - securing a wicket and 3 maidens. Keshan showed his all round skill - netting 3 wickets in his 7 overs for only 14 runs. Fielding was strong - Henry McMahon taking 3 early catches as keeper, Andrew Lim 2 catches, and Zach Lambert toppling the bowler’s end wickets with a direct hit throw from the other end of the field for a great run-out. Alexander Malan, Joel Sutherland and Zach progressively took wickets, leaving Botany at 104/9. The final wicket refused to come - Botany playing very defensively - and the game limped through its final stages. Selwyn threw the ball around to a number of bowlers hoping for a breakthrough, and Daniel Mansfield finally put Botany out of their misery with a clean bowled from his very first ball to end the game at 123 all out in 36 overs. A great overall team effort - capped off by Keshan’s masterful individual performance.

1st XI Girls Cricket
Following the short pool play this term, the girls made their way into the semi-finals for the Term 4 competition. They played Saint Kentigern’s in a 2 vs 3 match. In the previous encounter, Selwyn won by a slim margin, beating them by just a solitary run. This was always going to be a tough match. With the rain falling steadily throughout the game, once again it went down to the last over.

Selwyn batted first and were quickly scoring at an impressive rate. Caylee Link was the mainstay of our batting, hitting 45 from 42 balls. Despite the decent run rate, Selwyn lost wickets at regular times throughout their innings. Luna Burnes chipped in with a useful 18 and there was late-order impetus again from Ruby Sutherland, hitting 25 at a strike rate of 147. Selwyn scored 151 from our 20 overs which looked like a competitive score in difficult conditions.

Ella Cross held the Saint Kent’s innings together, hitting an impressive 69 runs. Going into the last two overs, Saint Kents needed 12 to win off the last 12 balls with Ella Cross continuing in her strong form. Carys Silva bowled her final over, dismissing the dangerous Ella with a sensational ball that dipped under the bat and crashed into the top of the off stump. At that point the game was still evenly poised, with Saint Kents requiring 8 from the remaining 9 deliveries with plenty of wickets in hand. Carys remained unphased, bowling a dot ball and then taking two more wickets bowled with excellent balls. This left Caylee with 8 to defend going into the final over. It went down to the wire, with 5 required from the last two balls. Caylee dismissed one batter with a lbw and then bowled the new batter out with the final delivery of the game. This sealed the deal with a thrilling 5 run win for Selwyn College, securing a spot in the pool final.
Huge thanks to Miss Parr-Thomson for coaching the girls and umpiring in the pouring rain!

An excellent win today for the Selwyn College Boys 1st XI vs Botany Downs Secondary College. Once again the Selwyn field was in pristine condition and the grass wicket was top notch as shown in the relatively high scoring game.

Having lost the toss and bowling first Botany got off to a flying start, but a consistent display from Milan Kharel pulled things back and he finished with the outstanding figures of 10 overs, 5 maidens for a measly 18 runs. In terms of wickets, returning from injury, Rhys Sue slotted back into his leg spinning role finishing with 7.5 overs 4 wickets for 30.

With the bat, Milan Kharel capped off a fine day for him personally, top scoring with 49 off 50 balls. Divesh Kamaleswaren played a smart innings, biding his time nicely before essentially putting the game to bed with his 41 runs. Daniel Pluck, who has worked tirelessly as a leader and skipper of the side, played a delightful cameo and saw the game out to the end - he scored 27 off just 33 balls.

All up, a very important win for the Selwyn boys in their quest to remain in the prestigious 1A Boys Limited Overs competition.

Enormous thank you to our parents who relentlessly score, umpire, transport, feed, unpack everything and then pack it all up again and encourage the boys. Huge thanks to school caretaker Mark, who is doing a great job looking after the field and pitch each week.

Final scores from the Pitcaithly Field at Selwyn College - Botany Downs Secondary College bowled out for 216. Selwyn College 217/5 off 44.5 over. Selwyn take the win by 5 wickets.

The 1st XI Girls cricket Team travelled to the term 1 Prem Champions, Glendowie College, last week. This was always going to be a huge challenge for the girls and they had to be at their best to get close to them.
Unfortunately, a combination of dropped catches in the field and a slow run rate with the bat, meant that we fell 31 runs short. Replying to Glendowie’s 146, we ended our 20 over on 115 for 5, with Ruby Sutherland and Hannah Macdonald giving the end of our innings much-needed momentum.
The team host Saint Kentigern this Wednesday.
