FNQ junior cricketers wipe out Central Queensland
CRICKET Far North’s under-14, under-13 teams and 12A teams have beaten Central Queensland in the northern state championships.
In the under-14 game, CFN opened with all batsmen making solid contributions and building new partnerships before wickets fell. CFN posted 10 for 152.
CFN then dismissed CQ for 89 in the 42nd over.
“Today’s win was a real team win, a real testament to the depth of the ability of the players, with everyone contributing to the win, with no major stand out individual performances,” a club spokesman said.
“This CFN team has now been unbeaten the last three years, and only losing one game out of the last 15. They are definitely the hunted now,” he said. “It was all topped off with Finn Vikionkorpi being announced the George Mitchell Memorial Medal winner for player of the carnival.
In the under-13 final CFN versus CQ, CQ won the toss and elected to bowl first. CFN topped 184 and later restricted CQ to 10/146 to take the win by 38 runs.
“The coaching staff are extremely proud of what this team was able to achieve at this tournament,” the spokesman said.
In the 12A finals, NQ won the toss and sent CFN in, scoring 139, which CNQ failed to reach.
“Congratulations to CFN the 12A champs three years in a row and big thank you to parents and supporters who held on with us and kept the boys going,” the spokesman said.
