Three fixture games were played in Warwick last weekend. Maryvale scored a much needed win over Wheatvale. After winning the toss Maryvale batted setting up a healthy 218 run chase or Wheatvale after opener Patrick Bourke scored an unbeaten 105. Undoubtedly the highlight of the game. Bourke’s opening partner Will Gordon scored 35. In reply, the Maryvale bowlers had Wheatvale at sixes and sevens. The highest scorers Stonehouse (10) and Pal (10) who struggled in double figures.
The inclusion of bowler Mac Mayall proved a bonus. He finished with six wickets as Maryvale picked up the points, Redbacks sit at the top of the leaderboard and added another win to an impressive season tally with a big win over Colts.
Redbacks sent Colts in and had them all out for 47 in under 15 overs. Redbacks lost two wickets as they cruised to victory in the 22nd over.
In the game played at Allora the home side won the toss and asked Sovereign Animals to bat first. Sovereign were all out at the start of the 27th over for a moderate total of 104.
Opener Mitchell Hay (19) and Mark Fowler (17) the best of the batsmen as the Allora bowlers controlled the game. Sean Bryson, Will Ole and Laura Scheiwe claimed three wickets each.
Allora wrapped up the run chase in the 22nd over for the loss of just two wickets. Bruce Ole top scored remaining not out on 54 helping Allora to a comfortable win.
After the weekend fixtures Redbacks remain at the top of the ladder with Maryvale who have hopped up the ladder to second spot slightly ahead of Colts and Vic Hill.
