Juniors
Coolum Sharks turned on the lights in more ways than one in round six. The under-17’s moved into a finals spot after a convincing victory against USC White in the first-ever junior competitive game under the club’s new floodlights. Ben Gordon set up the platform with a club-record 145 runs from 114 balls. His total included 15 fours and a six. He was well supported by opener Finn Wilson (52). The second day’s play belonged to the Sharks bowlers Jack Lahood (5-21) and Jacob Bartley (4-10) as their accuracy with the ball contributed to the team’s outright victory.
Seniors
Division 1 toiled away against Tewantin/Noosa with a half-century from Sam Curtis the highlight of the game. Division 2 took their game deep but even a five-wicket haul from Nathan Madsen and a half-century for Adam Goodwin were not quite enough to secure the points this time. Division 3 continued their unbeaten run and Craig Storm starred with 52 off the bat and four wickets.

Coolum Cricket Fortnightly Wrap 23rd November 2022
Seniors
The men’s 2nd and 3rd teams both had impressive wins over the last fortnight. The thirds are set for 1 Day finals. Daine Smith and Nick Neville with a season-best 130-run partnership.
In the Women’s competition, the Sharketttes made it five from five wins. They are unbeaten at the top of the Division 1 ladder. Nicola Browne’s innings was majestic scoring 50 against Caboolture on Sunday before rain stopped play. The Sharkettes declared winners on a better net run rate.
Juniors
Coolum Cricket Club has invested heavily in its junior format. The investment comes from a fantastic group of parents and coaches. There were smiles all round at the Sharks under 17’s game as Finn Wilson (known as the Panther) produced what seemed an impossible catch off his own bowling to see his team defeat Yandina by 7 runs.
Adam Kahts (pictured) was a stand-in with the bat for Great White Sharks U13’s with an unbeaten 81 against Landsborough.
The Coolum Sharks all-girls cricket team had an exciting start to their warm-up. The Colour blast round, facilitated by QLD cricket, was the next level of fun, where USC and Coolum were showered in colour! Coolum fielded first with Sophie, Lexi, and Amelia demonstrating lots of positive Shark energy. Maddie opened the batting well, with Lotte and Matilda finishing strong. Please contact Tayla.crane@qldcricket.com.au if you would like to join the Sunshine Coast All-Girls Cricket League.

COOLUM CRICKET FORTNIGHTLY WRAP 9th NOV 22
Seniors
IT WAS another successful week for the seniors with three winning teams from five. Adam Goodwin helped the Division two team ease past Caloundra with 59*off 66 balls. Division five Sharks pulled off a tight victory away to the Bulls with just seven balls to spare.
The Sharkettes continue to march on unopposed remaining unbeaten this season in the women’s competition. Coolum lost the toss and was sent into bat. A strong opening partnership from Kara and Paula (61) got the Sharkies off to a great start. Both retired to allow another sensational partnership (Sarah and Tash) who saw Coolum 1/158 at the end of the 30 overs. With a strong day in the field, there were many highlights, with a great run out by Sarah. Sammy was very tidy with 3/7 and well backed up by Mel, Sarah, Arishma and Angela. The team go on the road for their next game which will be played at Caboolture on Sunday, November 20.
Juniors
The 13b Makos won the toss and sent Yandina green into bat. After a great all-around bowling and fielding effort, they bowled Yandina out for 103. Mason Smith was the pick of the bowlers with 2/5 off three. Other standouts included Tallo Dekens 1/7 off four and Tommy Fromhold 1/3 off two.
When it was the Makos turn to bat they dominated with 166. All batsmen contributed to a great total- standout performers were Finlay Dale-Westbrook back in form with 27 off 24 balls, Kai Storm 32 not out and Charlie Fisher with 35. After a couple of wins on the trot, the Makos are building some great momentum for the season ahead!
The 13b Bull Sharks went down to Yandina gold 8/155 to 73. The best efforts were from M.Hanlon 2/8 off four overs and N. Golden with 35 runs.
The Tiger Sharks had a good win over the weekend, and it was the first time this season that they had all their players available. Great batting was on display from Harrison Noller (31) and Luke McCready (25) and a very good knock from Ben McCready (19) saw the team post a score of 145. Some very good bowling restricted Maroochy to 109, our standout bowler was James White taking three wickets.

COOLUM CRICKET WRAP
COOLUM CRICKET CLUB
NO PLAY was possible over the weekend due to heavy rain. Last week’s matches resulted in the women’s team earning top spot with successive wins. The Sharkettes looked in trouble at 9- 119. However, a last-wicket stand of 47 turned the game on its head. Nicola Browne top scoring with 37*. Hinterland fell 9 runs short in the run chase.
Junior team of the week was Coolum Great White Sharks U13’s. The 38-run win over Caloundra Black was largely helped by players of the match Ethan Smith and Archie Williams.
WOMEN’S CRICKET
It’s been a stunning journey so far for Coolum Cricket Women’s team. The ‘Sharkettes’ formed in 2019 and have been runners-up twice in Tier 1 and winners of the Tier 2 competition. With new sponsorship, this season the Women’s team have been able to engage for the first time, a qualified coach. With two wins so far under the belt, this could be the season the team goes all the way. The Sharkettes are scheduled to play Glasshouse at home at Ron Cargill Oval this Sunday, October 30 starting at 9am. Spectators are very much welcomed for the 30 overs a side game.

Finals on the Horizon
IN ONLY their third season Coolum Sharks Senior Men’s First Grade team look set for the T20 finals. Maroochydore CC will host the Sharks at Read Park on Thursday night under lights in a finals spot decider. It has been a great team effort to reach this point. Brendan Kelly has been outstanding with the bat, amassing 220 runs, while Jakota Dale-Westbrook has taken nine wickets at an average of 12.56.
The juniors began the 2022-23 season on Saturday with the U13’s Great White Sharks coming agonisingly close to chasing down 215 against Maroochydore (Cooper Mitchell 61*). The Tiger Sharks U13’s were able to defend a 55 run total, largely thanks to players of the match Harrison Noller and Ben McCready.
Women’s Cricket
Coolum lost the toss and was sent out to field first. Some very solid bowling saw Sarah Beechey get 4/18 and Sammy Franks 2/8. Caloundra made 118. Coolum had a strong start to their batting innings with opener Kara Petersen scoring 25 runs (top score for Coolum). Unfortunately, the skies opened up with 10 overs to go. Based on the run rate, Coolum was given the win.

THE COOLUM Sharks made a great start to season 2022-23 with a first-round win against Caloundra in the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association T20 Competition. Sadly, the second round saw the Sharks narrowly lose to both Tewantin Noosa and Glasshouse.
Highlights from the first round saw the Sharks play two matches at Caboolture on Saturday against Caloundra in the morning, followed by Caboolture in the afternoon.
New recruit Brendan Kelly was the star of the day, top scoring in both games, but it was his 43 not out in game one against Caloundra which was the most important innings of the day.
Bowling first, the Sharks made light work of Caloundra, dismissing them for 73 off the last ball of the 20th over.
Wickets were shared with Nathan Madsen, Rory Cowling and overseas recruit Jack England taking two each. England, from Devon in the UK, was playing his first game for the club and was on a hat trick at one point. The run chase was hard work with only Kelly and Cowling making double figures, but the Sharks passed the Caloundra total eight down with 11 balls to spare.
In game two against Caboolture, Kelly once again impressed, making the first 50 for the club this season. His 50 came off 46 balls with five fours and two sixes. He was well supported by Ryan Briggs who made 25 not out from 27 balls. The Sharks making 105 which Caboolture chased just two down in the 17th over.
