A jubilant Murgon Crusaders celebrate after their innings victory over Warriors on Sunday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 22, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two South Burnett cricket Grand Finals were played at the weekend with hosts Murgon and Kumbia both coming away with wins.<\/p>\n

At Murgon Sportsground, the Grand Final of the A Grade Two-Day competition was played across Saturday and Sunday between the Murgon Crusaders and Kingaroy Warriors.<\/p>\n

Crusaders won the toss and sent Warriors in for what turned out to be a fairly lop-sided contest.<\/p>\n

The Murgon bowlers made short work of the Warriors’ line-up, bowling them out for 50 in just 19.2 overs in the first innings.<\/p>\n

Top scorer for Warriors was Taylor Hermann with 18.<\/p>\n

Jamian Currin (5\/18 off 9.2 overs), Graham Brown (3\/28 off 7 overs) and James McUtchen (2\/3 off 3 overs) did the damage.<\/p>\n

In reply, Crusaders set a daunting target of 233 in their 45.4 overs.<\/p>\n

After taking five wickets, Jamian Currin backed up with the bat to top-score for the Crusaders with 52.<\/p>\n

Lehman Brunjes (43) and Jared Sippel (39) also added to the Warriors’ woes.<\/p>\n

Best of the Warriors’ bowlers were Taylor Herrmann (4\/42 off 10 overs) and Luke Smith (2\/57 off 10 overs).<\/p>\n

Warriors started their second innings already 183 runs behind.<\/p>\n

A change in the batting order saw opener Hayden Wieck, who scored a duck in the first innings, come in at number 3. This paid off with Wieck top-scoring with 43.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the visitors, the only other batsman to make it into double figure was Steve Heness with 12.<\/p>\n

The Warriors were all out for 104 in 40.2 overs.<\/p>\n

Crusaders’ captain Graham Brown ripped through the line-up, taking seven wickets for just 18 runs off his 10 overs.<\/p>\n

Tom Patton took 2\/23 off nine overs.<\/p>\n

A very happy Crusaders’ team won the inaugural Two-Day Shield by an innings and 79 runs.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy RSL Services’ top scorer Cody Bauer gets a second life as a chance doesn’t quite go to hand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At Kumbia, the South Burnett B Grade Grand Final saw the home team take on Kingaroy RSL Services in what turned out to be a closer game than the A Grade final.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rattlers, who haven’t hosted a grand final for five years, won the toss and sent Kingaroy into bat.<\/p>\n

The visitors started strongly, and by the 20th over were 1\/91 after opener Justin Labinsky was caught behind for 22.<\/p>\n

Cody Bauer then joined Glenn Kelly at the wicket, and together the pair put on a 119-run partnership.<\/p>\n

Bauer top-scored with 78 while Kelly was out for 53.<\/p>\n

After a strong batting performance, Kingaroy finished with 9\/215.<\/p>\n

Warren Cross was the best of the Kumbia bowlers, taking 4\/16\u00a0 while Jayden Steinhardt starred behind the stumps, taking four wickets,<\/p>\n

In reply, the Rattlers also enjoyed a strong start with openers Warren Cross (20 off nine balls) and Tavis Hartwig (80) piling on quick runs.<\/p>\n

Number three Chris Medcalf then sealed the win for the Rattlers with his 62 runs.<\/p>\n

Kumbia overhauled the Kingaroy target with both batsmen and overs in hand, finishing 6\/219.<\/p>\n

Cody Bauer was the\u00a0 best of the Kingaroy bowlers, taking 2\/40.<\/p>\n

Kumbia Rattlers are the B Grade Premiers for 2015-16.<\/p>\n
