The PCA take on Albany & Districts CA in round 2 of the Belt Up Country Cup
Sunday December 11, Peelwood Reserve. 10am start
The PCA side will be looking to bounce back into contention for the Belt Up Country Cup as they take on traditional rivals Albany & Districts CA this Sunday at Peelwood Reserve.
After a disappointing performance in round 1 versus Bunbury & Districts CA, the PCA, led again by Halls Head skipper Josh Rudge, will be motivated to get a win and pull themselves back into contention for a finals berth.
A squad with a few more availabilities this round allowed the selectors to have a little bit more of a tactical view with selection, and the selected players are as listed below in no particular order:
Josh Rudge (c) - Halls Head
Daniel Abel - Waroona
Benjamin Brittain - Mandurah
Damien Burrage - Halls Head / RMDCC
Prav Chahal (Overseas) - Waroona *
Dudley Cortland - Shoalwater Bay
Adam France - Pinjarra
Braydon Haskell (U21) - White Knights Baldivis
Mitchell Smith - Shoalwater Bay
Kane Standing (WK) - Warnbro
Keren Ugle - Warnbro
Bradley Williams - White Knights Baldivis
Skipper Josh Rudge will have plenty of options with the ball with a variety of bowlers at his disposal. Along with himself, the batting will also have a lot more depth to it, as well as experience. The PCA selection committee was very keen to select players in form, sending the message that performances in the Peel Cricket Association as well as the Retravision Premier T20 Cup would be looked at closely.
Albany will no doubt come to Mandurah with a strong line up themselves including WA Country regulars such as Nathan Crudelli, Coen Marwick as well as former WA Premier Cricket veteran Josh Dallimore (University CC) who has moved to the region a couple of years ago.
If you cant attend live, the game will be live streamed via FrogBox. You can find the link to this match and all other PCA matches and media on the PCA YouTube channel:
