February 21, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murgon Crusaders have finished on top of the Gympie Regional Cricket Association’s A Grade table after 20 rounds of keen competition.<\/p>\n

The local team has earned the right to host the major semi-final, which will be played against second placegetter Gympie Colts from 12:30pm on Saturday at Murgon Showgrounds.<\/p>\n

The winner of this game will go through to the Grand Final.<\/p>\n

Murgon finished the fixtures rounds with 13 wins – three clear of Colts – as well as five draws and two losses.<\/p>\n

Their only defeats were early in the season: in Round 1 against Harlequins and Round 8 against Kenilworth.<\/p>\n

The last time Crusaders came up against Colts was on January 25 in Murgon, but this match was abandoned.<\/p>\n

In fact, recent weather has played havoc with Murgon’s preparations for the final: of their past five games, four have been either washed out or abandoned after play started.<\/p>\n

However, Murgon notched up an easy nine-wicket victory over Colts on December 7 in Gympie.<\/p>\n

The sudden death minor semi-final will be played on Saturday between Kenilworth and Harlequins at Kenilworth.<\/p>\n

The winner of this match will play the loser of the major semi-final for a spot in the Grand Final.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett B Grade competition still has two rounds to go ahead of the finals series.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matches will be played this weekend in Kingaroy, Murgon, Kumbia and Wondai.<\/p>\n

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

A special Under 17s T20 game – made up of players from South Burnett clubs – will be played under lights at Lyle Vidler Oval in Kingaroy from 6:00pm on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Southern Bulls will be taking on the Northern Stars.<\/p>\n

A barbecue and raffle will be held for spectators with all profits going to the St George and District Drought Appeal.<\/p>\n
