The 2005/20<strong>06</strong> summer was an excellent one for cricket at the college. Mount Aspiring College formally entered into a<br />
relationship with the Albion Cricket Club which has been hugely beneficial in terms of funding and coaching support.<br />
As a college we would like to acknowledge Mike O’Connor who has such passion for the game and supporting our<br />
students. Mike has helped lift the profile of cricket and the future looks very bright indeed.<br />
<strong>MAC</strong> students were fielded (excuse the pun) in the Albion CC Senior Reserve and Senior teams as well as:<br />
Year 7&8<br />
Coached by Mike O’Connor, the team had a great season but the highlight was reaching the semi-final of the<br />
Milo Cup. This was the first time a <strong>MAC</strong> team had entered this competition and the team should be proud of their<br />
achievements. Tim Cotter, Callan O’Connor and Caywood Hesson had outstanding seasons with both bat and ball.<br />
Year 9&10<br />
Coached by Tom Topping and assisted by Bill Brooker these cricketers played in a CO afternoon competition and<br />
performed very well. Hugo Topping was a competent captain and performed consistently throughout the season.<br />
<strong>MAC</strong> 1st X1<br />
The team successfully defended their CO Champions trophy, ending the season undefeated. They played superbly as<br />
a team but the bowling of Ella Brockelsby and the batting of Miles Topping and Mitch Bosley was outstanding. Mitch has<br />
captained the team for 3 seasons and ended his <strong>MAC</strong> career with 203 not out becoming the first <strong>MAC</strong> student to score<br />
a double hundred.<br />
<strong>MAC</strong> Girls 1st X1<br />
The team played one game this season against Dunstan HS whom they defeated convincingly. The highlight was<br />
Kimberley O’Connor who scored a century, which was also a first for a <strong>MAC</strong> female student.<br />
