Wauchope claims close victory against Nulla in Two Rivers Competition

Boyd's 61 alongside the scores of other top order batsman helped lead the team to a 48-run win over the Nulla Cricket Club at South Kempsey on Saturday, October 14.

Wauchope's acting captain Matt Miller said Boyd was like their rock.

"He really concentrated well and was a big reason why we had a good platform at the end of the innings," Miller said.

Nulla player Troy Ward proved to be a challenging competitor for the team but Wauchope bowlers Hugh Parsons and James Lobb were standouts of the game to Miller.

"Lobb in particular is only 16-years-old and really making a name for himself with the ball and the bat in first grade around here," Miller said.

But Miller admitted it was a hard game for the club with Nulla making 127 runs total during the game.

"They're a strong team.... it could have gone either way," he said.

"It [will be] one of those [games] that we will look back on and be thankful that we won.

"Because they're the ones that... count at the back end of the season."

The Wauchope team have been keeping their strategy of having fun and keeping up their confidence during their games but Miller credits thier win to being good with the bat and the ball as well as sticking to their plan.

"We've got a really good team of young players this year and we're having fun as well as playing good cricket," he said.

"It really helps with the confidence and we're all on the same page basically."
