Murgon Cricket Club wrapped up their senior season with a big Pink Stumps Day fundraiser for the McGrath Foundation last Saturday.<\/p>\n

On the Friday night, the club hosted the finals of the social MPL Super 8s competition, then on Saturday there were two home games at Murgon Showgrounds: Day 2 of the Gympie A Grade game against Gympie Royals; and Murgon Diggers taking on ladder leaders Saints in the final round of the South Burnett senior competition.<\/p>\n

In the morning, Murgon’s Stage 2 and Stage 3 junior teams were also in action.<\/p>\n

All up, the weekend raised more than $2000 for the charity, through the sale of caps (donated by the Little Butcher in Kingaroy), raffles and money boards.<\/p>\n

After taking out the Grand Final of the one-day Gympie A Grade competition earlier this year, the Wooroolin Warriors are after the season double.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day 1 of the Two-Day Grand Final will be played this Saturday between Warriors and Gympie Harlequins at Jack Ison Oval in Gympie.<\/p>\n

Warriors finished in top spot on the table with Murgon Crusaders in third position, despite the home team’s strong win over Gympie Royals at Murgon Showgrounds on Saturday.<\/p>\n
