Locals shine in representative matches
Blackheath Dimboola duo Sam Leith and Albert Schorback performed well in their representative matches for the Horsham Cricket Association.
Schorback played for the under 15's in country week. In their win against Hamilton in their first match, he scored an unbeaten seven.
It was the last match on Friday, however, where he stood out against Hamilton scoring four with the bat but also taking 2/7 off 3.5 overs.
Leith played in the senior representative match against Wimmera Mallee at Horsham City oval on Saturday.
He was electric in the field taking two catches and showing athleticism. He opened the batting he scored 11 runs.
Leith said it was good to iron out some cobwebs after the break.
"I thought I contributed well in the field, but I had a bit of a brain fade with the bat," he said.
He also was impressed by Schorback in country week. Schorback has been playing juniors as well as A-Grade for Blackheath Dimboola this season.
"He did well and will benefit from the experience. He is only young and he will only get better so to see him pick up a couple of wickets was great," he said.
Lenny Clark and Edward Schorback are representing the under 13's squad in Portland this week.
