Beaudesert Borobies hit top gear to register back-to-back wins in top grades

At Dauth Park the Borobies first XI were sent in to bat first and made a good start, with opening batsman Joel Thorne scoring a patient 40.

Sam Stewart enjoyed his return to the game with an unbeaten 92 as he led the charge with the assistance of Stuart Groom (31) to amass a very competitive total of 7/218.

Opening bowlers Alex Darton and Andrew Staines claimed five batsmen between them in their opening nine overs to put Beenleigh on the back foot.

Staines (3/17) and Darton (2/9) maimed the opposition while new comer Hayden Sheppard (4/31) cleaned up the rest to have Beenleigh all out for just 63.

The Borobies second XI had a local showdown at Selwyn Park against a young and keen Beaudesert Pioneers.

The Borobies batted first and made a solid start through opening pair Steve Larrescy and Jayden Stephan.

Following an early retirement for Larrescy on 13, Joel Hughes returned to the line-up batting with an in-form Jayden Stephan (79).

Wayne Short joined Hughes after Stephan departed and added a further 136 runs before Hughes was out for 78.

Short went on to score an unbeaten 54 and the Borobies finished with a formidable 6/288.

The Borobies attack took seven overs before making a break-though but the wickets began to tumble soon after and they dismissed the Pioneers for 118.

Elsewhere, Beaudesert level 3B played Ipswich at Ray Antcliff Oval. The Thunder made 4/204 after being sent into bat with Adam Stockham 2/20 doing the damage for Beaudesert.

They were unable to back it up with the bat as they were held to 5/161.

Beaudesert green level 2B travelled to Springwood but had an off day, scoring just 8/90.

In reply, the Suns amassed a total of 168 for the loss of seven wickets off 25 overs.

Beaudesert red level one played at home against Kuraby, scoring 7/82 from 20 overs.

They started well with the ball in reply but it was not enough as Kuraby reached 9/132 off 20 overs.
