Saturday Cricket - Nanango and Murgon
There's very little cricket on this weekend (all South Burnett seniors teams are having a bye) but there are still several events that will be of interest to keen cricket fans. In Juniors, there will bed a muster for Stage 1 to Stage 3 players at the Alan Downie Sports Fields in Burnett Street, Nanango at 8:30am this morning. The muster was timed to reflect the start of the school year but with school now deferred until February 7, it will occur a little early. Meanwhile, in the A Grade Competition, Murgon will play Gympie's Harlequins in Round 2, Day 2 of the Two Day Competition at the Murgon Sportsgrounds in Macalister Street from 12:30pm. This match promises to be a very tight contest, and spectators are welcome.
