For the first time in more than a decade, Home Hill Cricket Association senior teams are returning to compete in the Cricket North Queensland (Townsville) competition.
On Sunday 7 September, Home Hill took to the field against Brothers Kenny’s Automotive for the first round of the Second Grade - CNQ comp at John McCulloch Oval, Kirwan.
Brothers won the toss and elected to bat first. The Brothers opening partnership amassed 44 runs before Greg Flanagan made the breakthrough with the ball to take the first wicket. Wickets continued to fall regularly with Guy Stevenson, JD Wilkins and Mark Coventry leading the bowling attack, taking 2 wickets each. The safe hands of TJ Richards contributed 2 catches in the field to have Brothers all out for 139 runs.
The Home Hill run chase was lead by Brendan Williams (29 runs) and Mark Coventry (11 runs), however a flurry of wickets in the middle order left Home Hill short of the total - all out for 68.
Despite the loss, the Home Hill players are excited for the season ahead. The Second Grade side will take on Wests in Townsville next Sunday.
The Third Grade side will commence their season on September 21, with both the Second and Third Grade sides playing home games at the Nutrien AgSolutions Cricket Complex. Keep an eye on the Home Hill Cricket Association facebook page for all the details.
