Drouin seeks success

from p56

Drouin where bolstered by the return of Wyatt and the inclusion of Nathan Lambert in the side. Both players will return to premier cricket once it returns, but for now, Lehman has enjoyed having the experience­d duo at the club.

“We have a lot of really good young juniors coming through and being able to hear from someone like Jordan for example is great for them. Watching him in the nets and learning from it, he’s been really helpful for us,” he said.

Lehman knows how important it is for the side to blood younger players to keep the club flourishin­g and one player he mentioned was Josh Maric.

The up-and-comer played a fantastic first up knock of 46, showcasing the talent he possesses, and class Lehman hopes to see grow across the season as he’s exposed to more senior cricket.

Another important player Drouin were able to secure is Cam McPhan. McPhan had moved into the area and after meeting with the side, came on board, a signing Lehman said was vital.

For Lehman, while this season may look a little different, the goal is to again take Drouin to the lofty heights of their previous premiershi­p successes and from what he’s seen so far, his side are fully committed to that cause.

“Training starts at 5pm and they are all there ready to go. They are willing to listen, learn and put things into perspectiv­e and that’s the best part about it,” he said.

After a washed out second week, Drouin will welcome Ellinbank to the Drouin Recreation Reserve on Saturday in search of their first win under Lehman.

 ??  ?? Lehman said he hopes to be able to help Drouin’s younger players flourish, one of those being Josh Maric who top scored with 46 for his side last week.
