THE Lower South East SAPSASA Cricket team finished equal first at the State Carnival held in Adelaide over last week.
Competing in Division 2 in a round robin formatted competition, the Lower South East juniors finished in the top spot alongside South West Adelaide.
The team, consisting of 13 players from the local district and coached by Heath McShane, started off the week with a tight five-run win against Torrens River.
The boys then defeated Port Adelaide by 75 runs on day two, with the youngsters displaying aggressive batting and good line and length in their bowling.
In the third minor round game, the LSE team went head-to-head with Tea Tree Gully, where it recorded an impressive score of 281 runs.
Tea Tree Gully could only respond with 78 runs.
On the final day, the side came up against South West Adelaide in the final held at Adelaide High School.
Unfortunately, after a solid start for the LSE batters, the inclement weather set in and the game was cancelled.
All of the boys bowled and batted well throughout the week and did the Lower South East proud.
They have set a high standard for the up-and-coming youngsters in the near future.
