Andrew Roderick survives an early runout attempt … Roderick went on to score a century for Murgon Diggers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 12, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murgon Diggers have locked in the first spot in the South Burnett Senior Cricket Competition Grand Final after downing Nanango in the Major Semi-Final played at Murgon Sportsground’s stables field on Saturday.<\/p>\n

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

At the end of their 40 overs they were 7\/177 with Joe Steinhardt top scoring with 31.<\/p>\n

Tom Currin (2\/17 off five overs, including two maidens) and\u00a0Riley Sippel (3\/44 off eight overs) were the pick of the Murgon bowlers.<\/p>\n

In reply, Murgon overhauled the target in the 34th over for the loss of just three wickets.<\/p>\n

Opener Andrew Roderick survived an early runout scare to secure his century, finishing not out 111 after hitting 16 fours and one six.<\/p>\n

Simon Morrow (1\/13), Stephen Kirkland (1\/27) and Barry Heyns (1\/29) took the three wickets.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Scorpions will have a second chance when they meet Kumbia (see below) in next weekend’s Preliminary Final.<\/p>\n

Wondai’s 2020-21 season is over after they were defeated by four wickets in the Minor Semi-Final at Kumbia Sportsground by the Kumbia Rattlers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The visitors were all out for 152 in the 39th over with Jeremy Hobbs hitting a very handy 61 runs.<\/p>\n

Roger Hoare took 3\/8 off his eight overs – including four maidens – for the Rattlers.<\/p>\n

In reply, Kumbia were 6\/155 after 22.5 overs.<\/p>\n

Ryan Kelly top-scored with 56 not out.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Hobbs took 3\/24 for Wondai.<\/p>\n

Kumbia will now play Nanango Scorpions in this weekend’s Preliminary Final to determine the second Grand Final spot.<\/p>\n
