LAST cricket season Seth Hewett watched on as 12th man as Arnold completed its rags-to-riches senior premiership win in the Upper Loddon Cricket Association.
This year is quite a change, with Hewett turning out for what he called “the Bridgewater over-age juniors”.
The Bulls returned to the league on Saturday after a year’s hiatus, fielding a team comprised mostly of youngsters against Wedderburn Band.
Hewett started his Bridgewater senior career with a first-ball wicket, clean bowling Wedderburn captain Will Holt playing No 3 in the order.
He had played previously for Bridgey juniors but moved to Arnold when Bridgewater withdrew from the competition last season.
Hewett said it was good to be back: “I like the ground, and the people are nice.
“They needed players here, and there are about 20 at Arnold, so I thought I’d come back.”
Hewett finished with 1-30 from seven overs, and despite being a self-described terrible batsman, made three batting at number eight.
