The Murgon Crusaders will play this year’s Gympie A Grade cricket final against the Gympie Colts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 5, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murgon Crusaders will be strong favourites to take the trophy going into the Gympie A Grade cricket final on Saturday.<\/p>\n

After finishing on top of the table, Murgon easily defeated Gympie Colts in the qualifying final on February 22 in Murgon.<\/p>\n

But Colts managed a narrow win over Kenilworth in the Preliminary Final played last Saturday in Gympie, earning them the right to face Murgon again.<\/p>\n

The match is almost an exact replay of last year’s Grand Final.<\/p>\n

Murgon finished in first place last year while Colts had to battle their way through to the Grand Final via the sudden-death Preliminary Final.<\/p>\n

However, Murgon fans will be hoping for a better outcome in this year’s encounter.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Colts chased down the Murgon target to take the crown.<\/p>\n

The Grand Final will be played from 12:30pm at Keith Manthey Oval in Gympie.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett B Grade competition has come to the pointy end of the season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last round of fixtures was played last weekend, with Murgon Diggers finishing on top of the table.<\/p>\n

Murgon are now through to the Grand Final on March 21 which will be played at Murgon Sportsgrounds.<\/p>\n

While the Diggers get two weeks’ off, the rest of the clubs will sort out the Plate (the lower half of the competition) and the Cup (upper half) trophies.<\/p>\n

This weekend there will be sudden death semi-finals played involving eight teams.<\/p>\n

In the Cup competition:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Kumbia Rattlers will take on the Kallindale Warriors at Kumbia Sports Ground.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Southern District Devils will face Nanango Scorpions at Lyle Vidler Oval in Kingaroy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The winners of these matches will play each other in the Preliminary Final on March 14 to determine who will face Murgon in the Cup Grand Final.<\/p>\n

      In the Plate competition:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Blackbutt Timbertowners will play Wondai at the Wondai Sportsgrounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Kingaroy Services will face Cherbourg at Murgon State High School.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          The winners of these matches will play in the Plate Grand Final on March 14.<\/p>\n
