And then weve got Ryan McElduff and Josh Hartill who have batted well for us all season. Were in the fight in this game, and we feel like weve always been in the fight this season. It is not just imports who are bringing plenty of positivi ty to the Tigers. There is no shortage of promising juniors coming through. Michael Kudra is only 19 or 20 and he is our wicketkeeperbatsman, McKinnon said. And Charlie Smith is a young leggie who has played a couple of games for us this year. Hes got a bright future. McKinnon bowled with the new ball last Saturday and picked up the key scalp of Lochie Hardy for 102 on his way to finishing with 1-37 from 10 overs. Jackson Isakka was also outstanding for Districts with 118 from 123 balls. I was happy just to play my role in the team and try to bowl line and length, McKinnon said. Districts batted well and put away the bad balls. Darwin is also chasing 301 against Waratah at Gardens Oval, and Palmerston needs 276 for victory against Tracy Village at Cazalys Oval. TRY telling Tigers medium paceman Coen McKinnon the odds are stacked against his team opposing Southern Districts at Nightcliff Oval on Saturday. The last-placed hosts will have the daunting assignment of chasing down a target of 367 in day two of the round 12 Darwin Premier Grade clash. But McKinnon has every bit of faith his teammates can get it done. And he could well be on the mark with a couple of key additions to bolster the batting line-up in Ryan Hackney and Dylan Brasher. Chasing 360 is a big target, but were more than capable of doing it, he said. Weve got Ryan Hackney for this game, and hes played representative games for New South Wales (playing for NSW Metro last southern summer), McKinnon said. Tigers backing themselves in a tough chase Nightcliff's Michael Kudra wicketkeeping for Southern Storm in the Strike League. He has a bright future in the game. Picture: Celina Whan JOSH SPASARO STRONG vibes and plenty of intensity saw Hoggies win their first game of the 2021 Darwin Netball Premier League 36-24 over Nightcliff. Hoggies have gone through a rebuilding season and, although theyve struggled with results, have been competitive in the first 16 rounds of competition. But that all came together for them in a Tuesday training leading into their round 17 match where, according to coach Shannon Millar, good numbers and good vibes lifted the sides confidence. We were super happy with that win, couldnt wipe the smiles if you tried. It was just a great moment for us, Millar said. Weve been competitive and building through the season so this was the moment that all that hard work really paid off for us. It all started with the strong numbers in training on Tuesday and those good feelings, vibes and intensity carried into the game where we started strong. The defence, led by Tara Everett, held its own against a Nightcliff side with credentials. It was the ever-growing partnership of Olivia Hatzismalis and Richelle Smith in the scoring circle that saw Hoggies through. The young duo held their nerve throughout the game to net the pivotal points. This has been a rebuilding season for the club, new committee, new players and a young side, Millar said. Some teams might give up after not winning for so long. But Ive always believed in never giving up until its over and its good to see my team believes the same. Its good for us to end the season on a positive note. Meanwhile, Tracy Village Falcons held off their closest challengers with a 42-37 win over Waratahs. And Pints recorded a 34-23 win over Banks Bulldogs. BUNCH OF HAPPY HOGGIES NATHANIEL CHAMBERS
