Division 3 Gold
Jimboomba faced Kuraby Blue away on Saturday. Kuraby won the toss and sent Jimboomba in to bat. Another amazing start by Tom Anning and Hayden Steinhardt got Gold off to a solid start. In the seventh over Tom lost his wicket with the team on 41 and Kie lost his wicket in the next over. Yet again Owen was solid and faced 17 balls before falling in the 12th over. Hayden retired on a great 31.
Two quick wickets of Claye and Liam before drinks sent Darcy out to bat. With three ducks in his previous innings Darcy showed nerves but also determination and went on to remain not out for 35. Sebastian and Hayden Y then fell which brought Hayden S back from retirement and Darcy and Hayden finished off the innings both not out and the team with a total of 7/182 off 27 overs. Kuraby went in to bat and although the initial overs were tight they remained strong. Some lacklustre bowling and poor fielding saw Kuraby win the game in the last over. Special mentions: batting - Hayden S 73 not out, Darcy 35no, Tom 18, Owen 10. Bowling - Darcy 3 overs 0/9, Kie 3 overs 0/4, Tom 3 overs 2/18, Hayden S 3 overs 1/21.
