Buccan Bandits Social Club

A HEARTBREAKER 💔🏐

The Banditas incredible 7-game winning streak has come to an end, going down 37–34 in a seriously gutsy performance.

Down a player for three quarters, the girls never threw in the towel. They dug deep, kept fighting and somehow turned it into a genuine contest right until the final whistle. 💪🔥

Shags took the fight to the opposition late, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t enough to get the W.

The streak is over, but there’s plenty to be proud of. 7 straight wins, a move up a division, and now a tough lesson to build from.

Heads up, girls. We go again. 💗

🔥 7 STRAIGHT! 🔥

What a win for the Banditas! 💗🏐

The girls stepped up into a higher division this week and showed they belong, coming away with a tough 26–24 victory! 💪🔥

That makes it 7 wins in a row and the Banditas remain UNDEFEATED! 👑

New division. Same result. WINNERS! 🏆

What a run these girls are on! 💗

SIX STRAIGHT! 🔥🏐

The Banditas just keep rolling! Another dominant performance sees the girls take a 23–5 WIN and extend the streak to 6 wins in a row! 💗

6 GAMES. 6 WINS. STILL UNDEFEATED. 👑

The girls are absolutely smashing it! 💪🔥

🏏 PLAYER HIGHLIGHT | JOE HUDGSON 🏏

YNG BCK PUTS ON A SHOW! 🔥

Joe Hudgson produced a massive knock in Sunday’s Elimination Final, blasting 85 from just 54 balls at a strike rate of 157.41.

💥 85 (54)
⚡ SR: 157.41
🏏 4 Fours | 6 Sixes

The knock goes straight into the history books as the 2nd-highest score in Bandits history!

And it wasn’t just big by Bandits, Joe’s 85 was also the 9th highest score in Australia for the week! 🇦🇺

The youngest player to debut for the Bandits, taking the field at just 12 years old back in 2019, YNG BCK returned to the club last season with a bang and hasn’t looked back.

Dangerous with the bat, with the ball and in the field, Joe has quickly developed into one of the Bandits’ most valuable all-round players.

And at only 20 matches into his Bandits career, there’s plenty more to come. 👀🔥

🌵 YNG BCK. BIG FUTURE. 🌵
