00:10 [APPLAUSE]

00:37 >> Winning co-coach of Warrnambool Gold, Matt Noonan.

00:40 Matt, you must be happy with that, mate, a bit of a great chase in the end.

00:43 >> Mate, how could you not be?

00:45 Chasing down 170-odd on a pretty good wicket.

00:49 Rugs on the board is always hard to chase, but

00:51 the boys certainly went out there and got it done.

00:53 >> Was your heart in the mouth for some of that?

00:55 You got a bit worried?

00:55 >> Yeah, Pearlie and I had our hearts in the throat for a little bit, and

00:59 coupling on the sidelines, and a couple of laps around the oval.

01:01 It's sort of calm us down, but it was good.

01:04 >> What impressed you most from today?

01:07 >> It's very hard to go past Brock Gannon.

01:08 That one's, he's gonna be elite.

01:13 It's really hard to put it into words how good that kid's gonna be.

01:17 60-odd right here, 113 right yesterday.

01:23 He's a brilliant cricketer.

01:24 >> Yeah, top the wickets in the batting, in the runs.

01:26 >> Yeah.

01:28 >> Pretty impressive.

01:29 And you must be happy with every run there over the whole week?

01:31 >> Absolutely, mate.

01:32 Every single kid got a crack, and

01:37 every time they got an opportunity, they did something with it.

01:40 We were pretty blessed to have a good group of 13 lads, and

01:44 every single one of them got an opportunity, and they did something with it.

01:47 >> And Horsham did well, as well.

01:48 You gotta give praise to them, I'm sure.

01:50 Like 170 in a final.

01:52 >> They batted really well.

01:53 I mean, unlucky for them, they're probably unfamiliar with these conditions, but

01:59 they batted really well, and they bowled fantastically as well.

02:02 There's a reason why we decided to have a straight in the whole game.

02:04 >> Sounds good, congratulations.

02:06 >> Thanks, mate.

02:07 >> That, what I just witnessed there, is some of the best junior cricket,

02:10 if not cricket I've ever seen.

02:11 Some of the most composed, well beyond their years.

02:15 Myself and family could not be prouder.

02:17 It's like, you know, just being able to say,

02:21 well done, lads.

02:22 Could not be prouder, boys, like really.

02:25 It's probably the best country group I've been a part of in the six or

02:28 seven years I've been in it.

02:30 Could not be prouder, the way we played as a team every game.

02:34 I think every game we played, it's just a huge team effort.

02:37 So, couldn't be prouder.

02:39 You should be all proud of yourselves.

02:40 It's all Griffin blokes and Griffin young cricketers, so we enjoy this and.

02:47 >> Oh my God!

02:49 >> Here's a Felix.

02:50 >> Yeah, sorry, buddy.
