Heavy Rainfall washes out the Under 15 Queensland regional carnival

Overcast skies and rain have been the dominant factor for this heavily weather affected carnival.

Northern Territory Senior Strike fall short in close battle with Queensland

Round 4 of the Australian Country Cricket Championships saw the NT Strike team take on Queensland, at the Howlong Cricket Ground in Albury.

Queensland won the toss and elected to bat.

Lead by T Wells (46 runs) and PJ Reimers (46not out), the Bulls managed to make a competitive total of 7/203 from 50 overs.

D Short demonstrated his fine all round abilities by taking 3/41 from 9 over’s for the Strike team and was backed up by a solid performance from U Weerasinghe 1/25 off 10 and G Brautigam 1/35 off 10.

In response, the NT fell agonisingly short of the Queensland’s target by three runs, having been dismissed for 200 in 45.5 overs.

A 97 run partnership between T Briggs (50) and S Lavers (48) had looked to set up the NT for an improbable victory over last year’s champions, but the loss of the final 6 wickets for 13 runs denied the NT.

PJ Reimers 4/44 from 9, B Weare 3/31 (10) and G Martin 3/22 (7.5) lead the Queensland attack.

The Strike takes on the ACT tomorrow in the first of their two day matches. They will be looking for a big win to cement their position in the top four. Read more ...

OENPELLI AND JABIRU VISIT
It was off to Kakadu for a visit to the communities of Jabiru and Oenpelli, known by the traditional owners as Kunbarllaninja. Oenpelli kids have always shown a strong interest in the cricket activities on previous visits and this trip was no different. This time round a number of kids remembered our last visit when we took Nathan Bracken, Michael Hussey and Moses Henriques. The kids showed plenty of enthusiasm and enjoyed every moment of the activities.

Jabiru school kids once again showed that they have plenty of energy when the cricket comes to town. All kids had a ball participating to the extent of over exciting themselves. Through all visits with Jabiru the town does have a strong interest with the game of cricket from Grass roots to the senior men’s team, which now have some new and great hard wicket nets that would match any of the training facilities that any of the Darwin clubs have. The school visit is always a pleasure as it is well managed and coordinated and this reflects on the kid’s enjoyment when participating.
