Weather challenges for Warwick cricket

By Casey O'Connor

Warwick Cricket have also had their issues due to weather with Sunday’s game between Maryvale and Redbacks scheduled for Slade Oval washed out.

In Saturday games Colts had a good win over Vic Hill to keep them in touch.

Batting first Colts scored 7/171 at the end of the 40 overs.

Maugan Benn top scored with a not out 59 and Shaun O’Leary batted well adding 30 runs to the total. Vic Hills, Imran Jawfer was the best with the ball finishing with figures of 2/17.

Colts bowlers had their opponents under pressure from the start and Vic Hill were all out for 128 in the 30th over. Angrej Singh the best with the bat for Vic Hill scoring 27. Colts James Fern bowled very well taking 4/20. There was plenty of support from Matt Kiernan who finished with figures of 3/26.

This Saturday in Allora played Wheatvale in Allora. Details are sketchy at the moment, but I understand Wheatvale who batted first were all out for 70. Allora scored a comfortable eight wicket win.

If weather and wicket conditions permit this weekend, the washed out round six games will be replayed.

Colts will play Allora at headquarters, (Slade); Vic Hill will host Maryvale at Allora and Wheatvale and Sovereign will play at Mayhew Oval.

On Sunday, the Warwick Rep side will host Central downs at Slade Oval in the first round of the 2021/22 Mitchell Shield.
