The fine day of cricket was a huge success and very well supported.
Following the fierce storm on Saturday night, the ground staff worked hard to get the wickets playable for the day.
Many thanks are due to the Upper Hunter Shire Council’s grounds man “chops” who did a wonderful job to get the synthetic wickets ready at very short notice on Sunday morning.
A very large list of teams turned up for the day so that there were 17 nominations for the two grades.
Peter Fleming, once again, did an outstanding job of coordinating the draw, and with the assistance of Phil Frost, Luke Gallagher and other volunteers kept the games rolling, the barbecue busy and the canteen supplying drinks and food for players and supporters.
The presentations were made at the Scone RSL Club on Sunday evening, being a fun feature of the day allowing everyone to ‘rehydrate’ after the long hot day.
The winners of the day were:
A Grade – Can’t be Serious 1/50 def Belltrees Broncos 3/47.
B Grade - Deen City Old Boys 0/43 def Wingen Archery Ranch 3/34.
Most 6’s - A Grade: Ben McRae 4 (Cameron Eccles 3), B Grade: Chris Brennan 2.
