For some reason your link wasn't coming up? But yes, brilliant performance and result.
Did well as a side to scrape to 211 given you were 8/123!
Yeah I love GF history and how things are remembered over time. I have always thought I made a duck but apparently I made 3, I still believe I got out in the first over but maybe I didn't. I remember being gutted coz I came of a 60 odd not out in the semi against EP so I thought I was invincible lol.
The L Haynes in the team is a bit of cult legend at Atco. His my best mate who I also work with and got him out to play that year. It got to the last game of the minor round and he had barely hit a run all year but had a real solid technique, could keep and was a gun in the field. A spot became available because of injury, we identified we had a week link in our fielding, we literally had 7 blokes who couldn't throw a cricket ball. It was mentioned to him that if willing he would be picked as a fielder (all our A grade batsmen were settled in their spots and hitting runs) and potentially end up being a premiership player.
In the GF he made 5. It was a horrible looking innings but he batter for 15 overs which was 10 over before and 5 overs after the tea break. Once he got out Gary Sutton came in 15 overs later than it could have been and went bang hitting 40 off about 25 balls and changing the innings.
We all stand by that 5 runs and 15 over Locky Haynes, his longest innings for the year was the Atco version off Shane Ellen. Played 3 games for the club, won a premiership and has never been seen at the club since. He is the 'WHO' of all those premiership photos.

I was pretty pissed off so I thought bugger this, I'll open the bowling, I ended up getting 8/20 , all bowled (took a catch a went halves in a run out too) and took a few in the 2nd dig too, just enough to pass him for the wicket trophy.
I never took a hat-trick, got 4 wickets in an over a few times, took five 8 fa's, first ever game for Parafield Gardens when they were paying me per wicket I picked up 7/26 & 6/19, the chairman hated me immediately.

We chucked a spinner up the order to open bat in a GF as it was dark and we had to face 19 overs, Yatesy did the job and scored a duck on day two after weathering the storm for the 19 overs required on day one, we still talk about it like it was yesterday, best duck ever.

Now that I don't play for them I can say it but the EP lads always feared you along with Glen North.
Generally the EP lads were pretty confident against the kits but use two had them doing the old Thursday night training think.

Steve Warren (never got to see him in proper action but he was quick enough in the old Sunday comp off 6-7 steps, infact he broke Shaun Gatto forearm in that com)
Mobbsy (quick and scary, especially coz he bowled full pace at training off his 10 steps)
Trevor Bailey (scariest I have faced, didn't help that he only ever trained with us and never actually played a game for us during my time)
Kenny McConnell (one of my favourite to watch with his long run, perfect action, loved fielding at silly leg with the helmet on)
others included: Kevin Thomas, Ben Hancock, Steve Johnson,
none ever took as many wickets as Granty though lol.

Look forward to seeing Eyre Royals this weekend and knocking Keylocks head off with some vicious bumpers.. we will get a better idea of how we are placed after this game, but it appears i'll be missing my two best bowlers, and my opening batsman so will certainly be a challenge.
