The Mortlake trio — Lachlan, 16, Georgia, 15, and Isaac, 13 — all represented Western Waves at state championship level this summer.

Georgia, a promising all-rounder, is also fresh from her third national campaign, where she earned team of the carnival honours after steady performances for under 18 runner-up Victoria.

But a jam-packed school holiday schedule, crammed with state and club commitments, didn’t deter them from throwing on the pads during their family holiday in Warrnambool this week.

The Warehams, camping at Lake Pertobe, practised at Russells Creek’s new nets, eager to help each other improve.

Georgia said they loved playing sport together.  A quick hit of tennis on Tuesday morning was another chance to express their competitive natures.

“We go for hits at the nets together pretty often,” she said of their regular cricket sessions.

The cousins have a close connection. They all go to Mortlake College and play for South West Cricket club Mortlake.

They’ve lined up in the Cats’ under 16 side together this season, with Georgia using her spin and Lachlan and Isaac their pace bowling to help the junior side.

Lachlan is also playing in Mortlake’s all-conquering division one outfit. 

He made his top-grade debut in the 2013-14 season and is now a permanent fixture for the ladder-leader, which is striving for a fourth straight premiership.

Georgia combines division two with her junior commitments.

The Waves trio are among a large contingent of family members who pull on the baggy blue for the Cats.

Lachlan’s dad Jamie and brother Dylan play, as does Georgia’s brother Jordan and Isaac’s father Paul.

Their second cousin Harry Hogg is also involved with the D.C Farran Oval-based club.

Georgia, who gave football away last year to concentrate on cricket, was one of the youngest players in the Victorian team which finished its Cricket Australia under 18 female championships campaign in Ballarat last week.

The all-rounder scored 61 runs and took 10 wickets, including 2-16 in the grand final, to earn a spot in the team of the carnival.

“I didn’t expect to get it. It was a really big shock,” Georgia said. 

“I thought I did all right but there were a few things I could have done better so I will try and improve next time.”

Georgia said Victoria was disappointed to lose the grand final after winning its six preliminary matches.

“We thought we’d be able to finish with a title at the end but didn’t quite get there,” she said.

“(NSW) have won it 11 times in a row now.”

Just as Georgia was finishing her national duties, Lachlan and Isaac donned Waves’ colours for the under 16 and under 14 state championships respectively.

Lachlan, playing at state level for the second time, made 39 runs in four visits to the crease and took seven wickets.

Isaac, in his Waves’ debut, made 35 runs in three digs and took three wickets.

The under 14s recorded their best finish at the carnival, just missing out on a semi-final berth.

“It was good. We won three out of five so that was better than last year,” Isaac said.
