The Sunshine Coast Cricket Division 1 semi-final was scheduled for two days of play over the last weekend at Read Park, Tewantin. The Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club were to challenge the Coolum Cricket Club in a play-off to see who went through to the grand final.
Despite a magnificent wicket being prepared for the match, the consistent rain we’ve been having made the field unplayable and the match was called off before it even started. The Tewantin Noosa team, being minor-premiers now play Caboolture at Read Park over the next two weekends for grand final honours.
Head down and support your local team with the first day’s play starting at 11.30am this Saturday.
Our junior boys and girls had their end-of-season awards night last week.
The club saw a lot of growth in junior cricket this season and, in particular, the number of female cricketers getting involved, many for the first time ever. Hopefully this trend continues into the next season.
Amongst the many awards and trophies given out were these few notable mentions: Completing 100 Club games, Aedan Mayo and Rory Ramsden. Individual Spirit of Cricket, Brandon Henderson. Most Promising Junior, Cooper Maloney. Most Promising Female Junior, Holly Montano. Spirit of Cricket Team of the Year, The All-Girls League. Michael Sobey Bursary winner, Bailey Hozier.
Community sporting clubs just wouldn’t exist without the efforts of their volunteers. The Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the volunteers who made the junior season the success it was.
