Coly cricket Cooper Smith after scoring 110 not out vs Leeton last Friday night.
After a great interview of stories, memories and plenty of laughs from Jason ‘Dizzy’ Gillespie earlier in the week, the Coleambally Nomads went on an inspired run, winning all three games over the weekend.

The C-grade team posted 109 off their 20 overs against Exies Eagles, led by Andy Fattore who scored 50 (retired) with three boundaries and four towering sixes. He was backed up by Tom DeMamiel (16 not out) and Daly Old (11).
With the ball, DeMamiel was very destructive claiming 3/2 off four overs with two excellent maidens. Fattore took a key late wicket and the team held on to win by two runs.
Cooper Smith led the second grade side against Leeton with 110 not out off 89 balls with 11 boundaries and three sixes. Vik Singh (21), Jake Breed (20) and wicket keeper Luke McWhirter (53) helped Nomads score 5/223 of 35 overs.
In reply, Leeton were cleaned up for 36 with Sam Strachan claiming 5/3 off five overs, Sam Casey 3/ 8 and Michael Hodgson bowling one ball for one wicket.
Hats off to the Milliken Shield team for trying their best in their last game for the season on Sunday.
The team made 69, but Leeton were too strong chasing down the total in the 25th over.
A big kudos to all involved in the team for raising just on $1500 for Pink Stumps Day and the McGrath Foundation.
