Mother Nature has caused disruption in the latter half of the junior cricket season, dashing the hopes of some young players hoping to make it to the big dance as they race towards the finals.
The minor premiers have been decided across all grades, with Proserpine leading the way in three of the four divisions, U12, U15 and U17s. In the U13 division, Souths claimed the top spot, while Magpies White took the honours in the U17 competition.
The semi-finals are set for this Saturday, 15th February, and with some good weather on the horizon, we hope the sun will shine brightly to ensure these exciting matchups can go ahead.
The girls' cricket season has seen a similar challenge, with rain disrupting the last two rounds, much to the disappointment of the players. Despite the setbacks, it's been fantastic to see so many new girls, many of whom are picking up a bat for the first time, join in the fun on Friday afternoons.
Souths have been dominant this season, securing the minor premiership ahead of PV Throwing Coconuts. Weather permitting, next Friday will see the semi-final take place, where the winner will earn the chance to face Souths in the grand final.
Our Master Blasters are also hoping for the rain to stay away so they can take to the field of GBRA for their penultimate round of Blaster cricket for the season.
Here’s to the sun coming out and a flurry of sixes being hit across the paddocks this weekend. Good luck to all teams playing off for spots in their respective Grand Finals.
