25.01.2022 Congratulations to the Ned Flanders XI for their win in the State Shield Grand Final. In the other 'mini' final played by the lower half of the draw, Wynnum Baptist took the win. It was a fine effort by all 4 teams that played in these games to get to this final fixture of 2018.... Well done everyone. It would be remembered as the round of 'The Captains '' no doubt with 3 of the oldest captains going around for their teams this season showing up the 'young ones' with best on ground efforts (not sure about Salvation Army individual scores at this time). M.Young (c) for the NFXI top scored with 96 not out to help post a big score of 5/210. The Salvos went down fighting hard before falling short by 63 runs in the 24th over. M.Martindale (c) for WB shone with 72 runs, taking 2 wickets, a catch in the field and a stumping while keeping. With only 7 official players WB made 6/151 before grabbing a slender 7 run win with 6 players left playing at the end. A. Choudary (c) for Kuraby Lions - out bowled his teammates when he took 3/13 to give his team a chance. The next half of the season will commence mid January with details about it all coming out soon. Enjoy the break everyone. Take care. May the peace and hope of Christ's birth be with you now and in the days ahead.

08.01.2022 A recap of Round 1 of the Premiership games that have now being completed over the past two weeks. In the Neds X1 vs St.Pauls Magpie game an outright was achieved with only 10 overs (approx) left in the day. Magpies battled it out to post 129 in their 1st innings but in reply the Neddies made an impressive 8/276 dec to take a 147 run lead. 2nd innings the Magpies tried hard to extend the game till the end but were eventual all out for 113. Highlights: ... NFX1 - L.Egan 4/28 & 5/20. Hussain 3/40. I.Batson 60 runs. St.P Mag - P Dillion 3/60. B.Clifford 3/55. Wynnum Baptist play Kurby Lions in a match that came down to just 2 wickets needed for an outright win. Wynnum made an aggressive 8/273 dec before Kurby made a respectable reply of 205. But with only 31 overs left the game suddenly turned. Wynnum 2nd innings lasted for 11 overs at 7/95 dec, leaving 164 off 20 overs the target. Kurby survived with 2 wickets left and still 63 runs behind. Highlights: WB - D.Cook 68 runs. J.Hemelaar 3/34. P.Strandly 3/17. Kuraby - Ashfaq 6/45. In the other game it was slow going between Rangers and St.Pauls Diehards with 1st innings points at a premium. Rangers batted out the 1st day to make 161 while in reply Diehards claimed 1st innings by making 8/183 dec off 47 overs. Rangers got a 2nd innings but it wrapped up after 16 overs at 1/48. Highlights: St.P. D - S Carter 67 runs. M.Corboy 3/24. Rangers - no individual scores provided. Good bunch of games to start off 2019.
