Finding form before the finals

By Casey O'Connor

The Warwick Cricket Association season is drawing to a close with the final fixture games only two week’s away and who finishes where on the table is still anyone’s guess.

With wins in the past few weeks, perennial premiership winners Maryvale look to be coming home with a wet sail. They have found some form and are now within striking distance of the ladder leaders Redbacks after last weekend’s results

After a couple of recent poor performances Colts got are the points on Saturday. Redbacks were dismissed for a paltry 47 after facing only 13 overs. It took only 22 overs for Colts to reel in the required runs and pick up five points.

Maryvale can never be discounted when thinking about finals and they scored a handy win over Wheatvale on the weekend.

In an impressive batting display Pat Bourke opened the batting and at the end of the innings was not out 105. He was the mainstay of the Maryvale innings as they set Wheatvale a run chase of 218.

Bourke’s opening partner Will Gordon scored 36 before he was dismissed. Wheatvale did themselves no favours on the scoreboard with 30 extras bowled. There no 11 batter, Glen Boal topped their batting scoring 20 runs.

Mac Myall again proving his worth with the ball taking six wickets.

On Sunday Allora played Sovereign Animals. Sovereign batted first after winning the toss. They were dismissed for 105 in the 27th over. Opener Mitch Hay top scored with 19 as Allora bowlers Meddelton, Ole and Laura Scheiwe each took three wickets.

Allora had little trouble chasing down the total losing only two wickets on the way. A good knock of 64 not out from Bruce Ole ensured a comfortable win for Allora in the 22nd over.
