Angus Tidbury scored 55, Ashton Drinkwater 39. They bowled Taree out for 164, with the bowling being shared by all.
Following this, the under 14s grand final became a competition between Great Lakes Forster Plumbing and Great Lakes Air and Mechanical.

Declan Pettet was the pick of the bowlers, with three wickets for 19 off five overs, and Landon Blissett got 2/11 off eight overs.
Special mention to Jack Dent with figures of 0/7 off eight overs. This bowling spell was a big turning point as it didn't allow the Air and Mechanical side get the runs early like they wanted.
Congratulations to all Great Lakes sides and families.
Thanks to all the club sponsors, without which the club wouldn’t be able to function in the same way. Presentation day is on Wednesday, March 28 at Club Forster.
