October 8, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year’s grand finalists – Cherbourg and Blackbutt – both chalked up wins in Round 1 of the B Grade South Burnett cricket competition on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg dominated against the Nanango Scorpions, while the Blackbutt Timbertowners proved too strong for Kingaroy Services.<\/p>\n

At Nanango, the home team won the toss and elected to bat.<\/p>\n

Showers strafed the ground earlier in the morning but didn’t affect play on the artificial pitch.<\/p>\n

The Scorpions were all out for 94 runs after a strong display by the Cherbourg bowlers.<\/p>\n

Stephen Kirkland top-scored with 22, with Brent Greenslade just behind on 20 and Simon Morrow on 18.<\/p>\n

Lyndon Hopkins was the pick of the Cherbourg bowlers, taking four wickets off just six overs (including a maiden) for 23 runs,<\/p>\n

Brendan McCarthy took two wickets for the loss of just two runs off four overs (including a maiden).<\/p>\n

Barry Fisher\u00a0Snr also took two wickets off his four overs, and Terry Davidson one off five.<\/p>\n

In reply, Cherbourg made their target in just the 15th over, finishing with 105 for the loss of four wickets.<\/p>\n

Tom Langton top-scored with 47 while Brendan McCarthy made 42.<\/p>\n

Brent Greenslade took four wickets off seven overs for 29 runs.<\/p>\n

Blackbutt and Kingaroy squeezed in their game at Blackbutt ahead of the rain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Timbertowners dominated with both bat and ball against an undermanned Services side.<\/p>\n

Keiran Harvey belted out 121 runs with Mitchell Olzard (93) just missing out on his century.<\/p>\n

Jack Argent notched up 58 while Brett Smith retired hurt at 45.<\/p>\n

Blackbutt were all out for 386 in the 38th over.<\/p>\n

The other two games scheduled for the weekend didn’t eventuate … Wondai forfeited to Kumbia, while rain washed out the Warriors v Murgon game in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n
