The under-12s batted first and did themselves proud against a formidable opening bowling attack.

The opening batters Akerman and Goode set Dungog up for a good innings. 

Sean Lynchwas the bat of the day finishing with 25 seeing Dungog reach 7/93 after their 40 overs.

Disciplined bowling and fielding saw Dungog scare Tamworth and had them reeling at 9/80. 

A lot of luck saw Tamworth scrape home. 

Lucas Barry and Sid Searle were the pick of the Dungog bowlers.

Under-14s

Playing at Gresford, Dungog batted first and made steady progress against good bowling before Will Fort (112) and Sam Jordan(41) came together and set about establishing a platform for the Dungog team. 

The batting between the pair was described as effortless, and Dungog reached 226. 

In reply Tamworth struggled against the Dungog bowling with a number of players making starts but not following on. 

Max Hampton claimed two wickets, with a number of others claiming a wicket each before Tamworth reached 183 from their 50 overs in what was a good win for the 14s.

Under-16s

Batting first Dungog faced some very tough bowling from a well drilled Tamworth unit. 

The opening batters worked their way through the new ball. 

Dungog seemed to be cruising at 2 for 80 with Harry Boorer (26) and Tommy Hudson (19) batting well. 

However quick wickets saw Dungog ultimately out for a total of 92. 

Not to be outdone Dungog set about defending the total. Brant Jobe and J Bills took three wickets a piece to have Tamworth on the rails. 

Tamworth however snuck out of trouble with eight wickets down before the score was passed.

A pleasing result by all three age groups against some quality bowlers and batters in the Tamworth ranks. 

Similar form will see all age groups continue to succeed in future representative games.
