Another four … Dan O’Connor owned the crease for the Nanango Scorpions during the Elimination Final played in Wondai on Saturday, finishing undefeated after hitting a half century<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 19, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rain held off long enough on Saturday for the South Burnett B Grade cricket competition to roll on towards the Grand Final on March 30.<\/p>\n

In Blackbutt, the home team earned the first spot – and the right to host – the Grand Final after downing Kumbia in a keen contest.<\/p>\n

At Wondai, Murgon bowed out of the competition while Nanango earned a spot in the sudden-death Preliminary Final which will be played this weekend.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Blackbutt finished on top of the table after the end of the 21 rounds which meant they hosted the Semi-Final on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Timbertowners won the toss and batted first.<\/p>\n

Bowler Keegan Wright was lethal for Kumbia, taking six wickets for just 19 runs off 7.1 overs (including two maidens).<\/p>\n

Blackbutt were all out for 130 in the 21st over.<\/p>\n

Captain Mitchell Olzard top scored with 27, followed closely by John Snow with 25.<\/p>\n

A batting collapse haunted Kumbia in reply, with opener Bevan Fawcett falling for a duck … the first of six during the Rattlers’ innings.<\/p>\n

Roger Hoare (17) and Wright (16) both made starts only to lose their wickets to runouts.<\/p>\n

Top scorer for Kumbia was number three Shane Laherty who made a respectable 41.<\/p>\n

Michael Marriott (2\/5 off four overs) and Chris Turner (3\/23) were the best of the Blackbutt bowlers.<\/p>\n

Kumbia were all out for 102 in the 35th over.<\/p>\n

The Rattlers will have one more chance next Saturday in the Preliminary Final which will be played at their home ground.<\/p>\n

Stephen Kirkland finished with a tally of 20 not out for Nanango<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Nanango Scorpions ended Murgon’s season in the Elimination Final played at Wondai on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murgon won the toss and batted first.<\/p>\n

They were all out for 83 in the 24th over.<\/p>\n

Heavy rain the night before made the outfield slow, keeping scoring low.<\/p>\n

Opener Jonathan Kapernick was best with the bat, hitting 29 runs.<\/p>\n

Matthew Early was the pick of the Nanango bowlers, finishing with figures of 4\/9 off four overs.<\/p>\n

Wicketkeeper Dan O’Connor took three catches.<\/p>\n

In reply, Nanango overtook the target in the 14th over.<\/p>\n

O’Connor (53 not out) and Stephen Kirkland (20 not out) accounted for most of the final score of 3\/87.<\/p>\n

Ryan Sommerfield and Renee Irvine took a wicket apiece for Murgon, with the third falling to a runout.<\/p>\n

Murgon’s season is now over after finishing third on the ladder at the end of the regular rounds.<\/p>\n

Kumbia will face the Nanango Scorpions next Saturday at Kumbia to determine the second Grand Final spot.<\/p>\n

In the junior competition, Murgon Teys Junior Diggers (3\/152) defeated Murgon Carney’s Feed Store Junior Crusaders (8\/118) in the Stage 3 Final played at Murgon on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lachlan Zelinski (34 ret.) and Christian Simpson (27) top scored for Diggers.<\/p>\n

The three wickets were taken by Crusaders’ Harrison Sippel (1\/10), Peter Anderson (1\/21) and Angus Hankinson (1\/7).<\/p>\n

Jake Sippel (29 not out) was the best of the Crusaders’ batters, although all made a start.<\/p>\n

Nikolas Heness (2\/6), Lachlan Zelinski (2\/13) and Nathan Roderick (1\/4) were the pick of the Diggers’ bowlers.<\/p>\n

In Stage 2,\u00a0 Kingaroy Burnett Water Yellow defeated Kingaroy Swickers Sunpork Red in the Final played at Taabinga State School.<\/p>\n
