In the under-15s, it was Barooga that ran away with proceedings, capping an unbeaten season with grand final glory over Tocumwal, winning by 38 runs at Cobram Showgrounds.<\/p>\n
Winning the toss and electing to bat, the Hawks initially got off to a solid start, making it to 27 without loss before losing a clump of wickets, as Charlie Noonan (9), Ryder Leith (17) and Kade Rogers (5) all fell in quick succession, as Barooga slumped to 3-39.<\/p>\n
Oscar Benson (4) and Kohen Haddrell (15) would fall in consecutive overs as the Hawks fell to 5-59, while Jed Flanagan and Wyatt Twite both were dismissed for ducks to leave the Hawks down 7-71.<\/p>\n
Ayden Richmann was solid in the lower order, adding 12, but the star of the innings was Charlie McDonald, who made a patient 30 from 63 deliveries to help Barooga beyond 100, although he was the final wicket to fall, leaving the Hawks with a total of 110 after being bowled out in the 39th over.<\/p>\n
It was a supreme team effort in the field, too, as Rogers (2-9), Oliver Benson (2-11), Flangan (2-20), Nash Hill (1-2), Noonan (1-6), and Haddrell (1-13) all snared wickets, another coming via run out, as the Hawks bowled the Bloods out for 72 inside 35 overs to seal victory.<\/p>\n
The win also secures a sweep of the junior titles for Barooga, with the under-17 side having claimed the premiership over Cobram-Katamatite two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
Barooga was unable to repeat the feat in the B-grade decider, though, with Berrigan proving too strong for the Hawks at Barooga Recreation Reserve.<\/p>\n
The Saints won the toss and scored 7-196 from their 40 overs, with Luke Melville top-scoring with 55, while Riley Adams (2-14) was the pick of Barooga\u2019s bowlers.<\/p>\n
In reply, Barooga were 3-129 with slightly more than eight overs remaining, but the required run-rate became too much as the home side lost 7-23 to be all out for 152 from 36.4 overs.<\/p>\n
Kale Watkins was brilliant with the bat, making 51 to help give his side a chance; however, the Saints were too strong with ball in hand.<\/p>\n
Jordan Swann (3-38) claimed three scalps, including that of Watkins, as Berrigan won by 44 runs.<\/p>\n
In C-grade, Finley claimed the premiership, defeating Strathmerton by 31 runs at Berrigan.<\/p>\n
Finley\u2019s 156 all out from 34.5 overs was enough, as Strathmerton was all out for 125 in 31 overs.<\/p>\n
Matt Clarke top-scored with 51 retired not out, opening the batting for Finley, while Jacob Armer\u2019s 4-14 were the Cats\u2019 best figures with the ball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the under-15s, it was Barooga that ran away with proceedings, capping an unbeaten season with grand final…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":529784,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-529783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=529783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/529784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=529783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=529783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=529783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
