March 29, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blackbutt will host Nanango in the Grand Final of the South Burnett B Grade cricket competition on Saturday after the Scorpions despatched Kumbia in the Preliminary Final last weekend.<\/p>\n

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

Opener Dan O’Connor, who dominated at the crease during the Elimination final played the week before, led the Scorpions again to an easy victory.<\/p>\n

O’Connor hit 11 fours on his way to notching up 70 runs.<\/p>\n

Matthew Springate also starred for Nanango with 53 runs, while Stephen Kirkland hit a quickfire 30 in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

At the end of their 40 overs, Nanango were 9\/228.<\/p>\n

Ryan Kelly was the best of the Kumbia bowlers, taking 4\/51 off eight overs, including the wickets of O’Connor and Kirkland.<\/p>\n

In reply, the Rattlers – playing at home – were all out for 156 in the 26th over.<\/p>\n

Kelly was on fire for Kumbia, hitting 70 runs off just 54 balls before being bowled by Springate.<\/p>\n

Kelly’s haul included one six and eight fours.<\/p>\n

Shane Laherty (22) and Tony Dugdell (20) also made starts for the Rattlers.<\/p>\n

Sam Scott was best with the ball for Nanango, taking 4\/25 off seven overs.<\/p>\n

The Blackbutt Timbertowners will go into the Grand Final as red hot favourites after finishing on top of the table and suffering just three losses throughout the season.<\/p>\n

But one of those losses was against the Scorpions, back in Round 14 in January, which will give Nanango fans some hope.<\/p>\n

The Grand Final is due to get under way at the Blackbutt Sports Field at 12:30pm.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Cricket Association will be presenting the individual trophies for A and B Grade at 11:30am, prior to the start of the game.<\/p>\n
