The true spirit of cricket
The Horsham Cricket Association B-grade match between Rupanyup/Minyip and BrimKSH at Murtoa Recreation Reserve showcased the true spirit of country cricket.

With the game over and having been in the field all day, with the temparature hitting 38 degrees, BrimKSH decided to stay out there for two more overs to give the Panthers' Lachie Young a bat.
Young, who has Down Syndrome, has been a twelfth man on multiple occasions and is a much-loved club person who will run water and do anything to help the team off the field.
Young was excited for his chance to bat, padding up every time a wicket fell, anticipating his chance to shine. He finally got his chance, scored a boundary, and remained unbeaten.
