Glasshouse as minor premiers will enter the play-offs full of confidence as the youth component matures at season’s end, with the likes of Joel Owen, Jett Taylor and Ricky Sawyer having graduated past the rookie status.

Taylor shares the new ball with the top-shelf Steve Heise, and the off-pace variety of Heath Fischer and Joel Owen completes the depth of the attack. Tim Taylor, Ricky Sawyer and match-winner Dan Cahill follow their elders to complete the strong top five batting.
