Pop sent in a photo of a local cricket leader and his lads who all play together.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend \u201cGular played Toora\u201d in the major semi-final with the Gular team featuring Peter \u201cPumpkin\u201d Peters and his four boys, Levi, Peter, Jaylem, and Preston.<\/p>\n<p>Gular won by six runs and now await either Tooraweenah or Curban, who meet in next week\u2019s Preliminary FInal. <\/p>\n<p>In the other semi, Curban made 138 off their 45 overs, before bowling Dunedoo out for just 87. <\/p>\n<p>No doubt, Pop will keep us updated on the fate of Peter and his four \u201cPumpkins\u201d!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I had a wonderful note from Tim \u201cPop\u201d Jenkins from Trangie last weekend.
