Rain across the region on Saturday meant only one match could be decided in the Millicent Naracoorte Cricket Association.\u2029<\/p>\n
A result was achieved at Kingston but matches at Norm Facey Oval at McLaughlin Park in Millicent and at Mick and Jean Walker Oval at Mount Burr were abandoned.\u2029<\/p>\n
Kingston1\/65 defeated Furner\/Beachport 9\/61\u2029<\/p>\n
The search for a breakthrough win in the 2025\/26 season continued in vain for Furner\/Beachport at the seaside.\u2029<\/p>\n
The visitors won the toss and that was one of the few pieces of luck to fall their way.\u2029<\/p>\n
With skipper and regular opener Sam Bell unavailable for this match, Cameron Slape was called on to face the new ball with Dr Sean McGrath.\u2029<\/p>\n
The makeshift opening pair found it hard to pierce the field and were dismissed for one run apiece.\u2029<\/p>\n
This set the pattern for the rest of the Furner\/Beachport innings with two ducks and seven batsmen making single digits.\u2029<\/p>\n
The exceptions were returning player James Watts (14) and a player using an alias (unbeaten on 22).\u2029<\/p>\n
With Furner\/Beachport fielding only 10 players, the innings was completed in the 32nd over at 9\/61.\u2029<\/p>\n
Kingston used eight bowlers with the pick being Bradley Maloney with 4\/10.\u2029<\/p>\n
In reply, the seasiders only needed just over 10 overs to reach the target.\u2029<\/p>\n
The stand-out batsman with a game high score was Callum Paige with an unbeaten 34 while Mark Collier made 21.\u2029<\/p>\n
The half-way mark of the home and away season occurs on Saturday in round seven with Furner\/Beachport having a bye and Kingston heading to Naracoorte.\u2029<\/p>\n

Lady luck in the form of mid-afternoon showers \u201crobbed\u201d Naracoorte and \u201csaved\u201d Mount Burr in the match at Mick and Jean Walker Oval.\u2029<\/p>\n
The visitors were within sight of victory when the heavens opened and the match was abandoned.\u2029<\/p>\n
In reply to Mount Burr\u2019s 10\/122, Naracoorte had reached 3\/77 in the 20th over.\u2029<\/p>\n
This meant they had 20 overs and seven wickets in hand and were just 46 runs away from victory.\u2029<\/p>\n
The home side were fortunate to split the premiership points after being 5\/16 at one stage.\u2029<\/p>\n
With some quality players back in the pavilion, it was left to teens Jack Muhovics (42) and Coaden Taylor (37) to save face with an 80-run partnership for the sixth wicket.\u2029<\/p>\n
Veteran bowlers Mark Wright and Adrian Thompson made 10 apiece down the order to ensure Mount Burr reached well into the three figures after 40 overs.\u2029<\/p>\n
Naracoorte used eight bowlers and six of them took wickets.\u2029<\/p>\n
In reply, Naracoorte was making ground towards a win as little impact was made by the Mount Burr bowlers.\u2029<\/p>\n
Naracoorte is home to Kingston in round seven while Mount Burr heads into Millicent to play the Black Hats.\u2029<\/p>\n
Millicent Black Hats 9\/167 drew with Rendelsham Match abandoned\u2029<\/p>\n
The Millicent Black Hats kept their place at the head of the premiership table after their home ground match against Rendelsham was rain-affected.\u2029<\/p>\n
Home side skipper Mitchell Nitschke won the toss and elected to bat.\u2029<\/p>\n
It was his major contribution for the day as he was sole batsmen in the top eight not to reach double figures.\u2029<\/p>\n
The pick was vice captain Jaxon Cushion with an unbeaten 42 and his side was 9\/167 at the time of the compulsory 40 over closure.\u2029<\/p>\n
Millicent\/Naracoorte Cricket Association president Tyson Smith troubled the tail and finished with the bowling honours of 3\/28.\u2029<\/p>\n
Like at Mount Burr, the wet conditions ended any hope of a result.\u2029<\/p>\n
