Jayden Prendergast hit a boundary, giving Scorpions a chance at victory at the death knell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Murgon overpowered Tingoora Vikings on Saturday to earn a spot in the South Burnett Senior Cricket Grand Final, but it was the Minor Semi-Final – played in Kingaroy – which had spectators on the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n

In the sudden-death game, played at Lyle Vidler Oval, Wooroolin Warriors ended Nanango Purple’s chances of glory by just six runs in the last over of play.<\/p>\n

Warriors will now play Tingoora Vikings in the Preliminary Final this weekend to determine the second Grand Final spot.<\/p>\n

Scorpions’ Dan O’Connor carefully added 13 runs to the total, keeping Nanango Purple’s hopes alive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Minor Semi-Final<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Nanango Purple – packed with some of the region’s best young cricketers – required just seven runs off the last over for a victory against the more favoured Wooroolin Warriors but fell just short in a nail-biting finish to the Minor Semi-Final.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nanango won the toss and sent Warriors into bat.<\/p>\n

Wooroolin were all out for 128 in the 40th over.<\/p>\n

Roger Hoare top-scored with 25 runs, although most of the batters also made a good start.<\/p>\n

Lawson Black (3\/23 off 7.4 overs), Thomas Town (2\/15 off eight) and Lachlan Cullen (2\/17 off five) were the pick of the Nanango bowlers.<\/p>\n

In reply, Nanango were 122 when the final wicket fell in the last over.<\/p>\n

Nanango’s hopes had been lifted when Dan O’Connor took the crease, carefully carving out 13 important runs while his partners fell at the other end.<\/p>\n

Sadly for Scorpions’ fans, O’Connor was bowled out by Paul Figg when the score was 112.<\/p>\n

A boundary by Jayden Prendergast briefly lifted Nanango’s hopes again, but Paul Clegg dashed them in the last over with a well-positioned ball that bowled Andrew Black for a duck.<\/p>\n

Openers Lawson Black (22), Lachlan Cullen (24) and Thomas Town (13) were Nanango’s top scorers.<\/p>\n

Paul Figg (3\/30 off eight overs), John Schultz (2\/11 off eight) and Noah Birch (1\/2 off one) were the pick of the Wooroolin bowlers.<\/p>\n

Murgon’s bowlers outgunned Vikings in the South Burnett Major Semi-Final played at Tingoora’s home ground on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murgon won the toss and batted first, and were 5\/225 at the end of their 40 overs.<\/p>\n

Adam Kratzmann almost made a century, finishing not out 99.<\/p>\n

Opening bat Jonathon Kapernick (52) and Dylan Kapernick (23) added to Murgon’s total.<\/p>\n

Keegan Wright (3\/36 off eight overs) and Brad Moore (1\/14) finished with the best bowling figures for Tingoora.<\/p>\n

But in reply, Vikings were all out for just 70 in the 35th over.<\/p>\n

The two openers, Trevor Hansen (22) and Jeffrey Rose (17) were the only batters to make it into double figures.<\/p>\n

Murgon’s Byron Kratzmann finished with the incredible bowling figures of 3\/1 off five balls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adrian Webster took 4\/13 off eight overs, including one maiden; while Jamian Currin finished with 3\/14 off six overs including three maidens.<\/p>\n

Murgon is now through to the Grand Final which will be played on March 18, while Tingoora have one more chance, facing Wooroolin Warriors this Saturday.<\/p>\n
