The Tingoora Vikings … the boys and their supporters had plenty to cheer about on Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

January 27, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tingoora Vikings had a lot to celebrate last Saturday … the fact they’re holding down the top spot on the local cricket ladder, a victory over Kingaroy Services Blue and the grand “re-opening” of their new cricket pitch.<\/p>\n

The new concrete and synthetic pitch at the Tingoora Oval is the result of six months planning, fundraising and a lot of hard work by the members and friends of the Vikings.<\/p>\n

The old pitch was ripped up last November and footings dug for the new pitch.<\/p>\n

The big day started with a fun sponsors and supporters game, which also involved Mayor Brett Otto and several South Burnett councillors.<\/p>\n

Mayor Otto then conducted the official opening at noon, while supporters enjoyed a sausage sizzle.<\/p>\n

Out on the pitch, Vikings won the toss and batted first in their 40-over game against Kingaroy Blue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A large crowd of family members gathered in marquees along the sidelines to cheer on the home team.<\/p>\n

Vikings set a strong target, all out for 266 in the 38th over.<\/p>\n

Top scorers were Keegan Wright (72) and captain Tavis Hartwig (70).<\/p>\n

For Kingaroy, Josh Fearby took 4\/48 off 7.5 overs, and Archie Koehler 3\/34 off seven overs.<\/p>\n

In reply, Kingaroy Blue were all out for 180 in the 35th over.<\/p>\n

Openers Lachlan Watson (30) and Josh Fearby (29) got Blue off to a solid start.<\/p>\n

Archie Koehler hit a quickfire 42 off 41 balls to be the top-scorer, including six 4s and one 6.<\/p>\n

Michael Sanford (3\/31 off six overs) and Benjamin Pratt (2\/6 off one over) did the damage for Vikings.<\/p>\n

Tingoora defeated Kingaroy Services Blue by 86 runs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of Round 9, Tingoora was leading the SBCA 40-Over competition ladder with 31 points, ahead of Murgon (28), Wooroolin Warriors (22), Nanango Purple (19), Wondai (18), Kingaroy Services Orange (16), Nanango Yellow (15) and Kingaroy Services Blue (13).<\/p>\n

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

They were all out for 131 in the 34th over.<\/p>\n

Reuben Hoare (29) and\u00a0 Matthew Bradford (26) were the top scorers.<\/p>\n

For Wondai, Lyndon Hopkins took\u00a0 3\/15 off seven overs, and Kimberley Barrett 2\/14 off 2.5.<\/p>\n

In reply, Wondai were 4\/134 when they overcame the target in the 25th over.<\/p>\n

Torren Anderton (44) and\u00a0Jeremy Hobbs (32 not out) were the top scorers.<\/p>\n

Josh Unverzagt (2\/6 off four overs), Thomas Hoare (1\/9 off three) and Reuben Hoare (1\/19 off five) took the wickets for Kingaroy Orange.<\/p>\n
