February 24, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett’s young cricketers now have a special pitch to play on in Nanango, thanks to the support of Heritage Nanango Community Funding.<\/p>\n

The $12,000 synthetic wicket – laid on a concrete base – will enable the Nanango Scorpions to host Stage 1, 2 and 3 games simultaneously at the Nanango Sporting Association’s grounds in Burnett Street.<\/p>\n

Stage 1 Kingaroy and Nanango players – the youngest cricketers in the South Burnett competition – played on the new pitch on Saturday while their older colleagues in Stage 2 and Stage 3 played on the other wickets at the sports fields.<\/p>\n

Having three wickets at the same location will make life a lot easier for parents and carers who have children playing across different grades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scorpions secretary Dan O’Connor said the new wicket plays just like turf, which will help the young cricketers develop their skills.<\/p>\n

There are about 35 juniors signed up with the Scorpions across the three stages.<\/p>\n

Stage 1 games, which followed on from Master Blasters, began on February 6 and already there are about 20 young players turning out for either Kingaroy or Nanango.<\/p>\n
