Sydenham-Hillside suffered their second loss of the season in a super over in this week’s T20 semi-final although they are striving to make a quick return to winning this weekend.
The ladder leaders will face West Newport this Saturday who have been their only loss in the home and away season.
Coach Geoff Pretty said the key to success will be to have an aim and strong mindset.
“I think it’s always to have an aim,” Pretty said.
“Everyone has an ability. It’s how you harness that ability and how your mindset works.
“Cricket’s very much a mindset game, attitude and approach, discipline.”
The message has been clear for them this season.
“Do the basics better than everyone else has been my message,” he said.
“And if you do the basics well in cricket you generally come out on top.”
Sydenham-Hillside will strive to capitalise on their successful season so far, understanding that there is some strong competition around.
“You are always looking to try and win a premiership and that will certainly be something we are aiming at but you don’t get too far ahead of yourself,” Pretty said.
“There will be some stiff competition out there.
“We will go to the typical coast line and play it week by week.”
