Home Hill enjoyed a successful weekend on the cricket fields, with all three teams securing victories.
Home Hill Pengelly Cabinets produced a strong all-round Second Grade performance to claim a thrilling three-wicket win over Norths.
After electing to bowl, Home Hill restricted Norths to 6/177 from 40 overs, with Tristan Richards (2/21) leading the attack. Mark Nosworthy (1/9 from six overs) was outstanding, while Al Wilkins (1/19) and Brad Parravicini (1/23) also bowled tightly.
Chasing 178, Home Hill lost early wickets before Mark Coventry took the attack to the bowlers with a quick-fire 45.
Darcy Walters then anchored the innings, remaining unbeaten on 55, while Lachlan Altmann provided the perfect support with 39 not out.
The pair guided Home Hill from a precarious 7/125 to victory, finishing on 7/180 in the 38th over.
Home Hill Evergreen Sheds followed suit in Third Grade, defeating Northern Beaches after chasing down a target of 162.
Northern Beaches elected to bat first but were restricted to 8/161 from 35 overs. Lachlan Altmann starred with 3/9 from five overs, while Salvatore Cardillo (2/34) and Greg Flanagan (2/26) also played key roles.
In reply, Home Hill made light work of the chase, finishing on 5/215. Ryan Rickards anchored the innings with 62, while Darcy Walters guided the side home with an unbeaten 71. Simon Vickers provided an aggressive start with 26 from 21 balls, and Greg Flanagan added 21.
Home Hill ML Partners completed the clean sweep with a convincing 107-run win over Wanderers in Fourth Grade.
After being sent in to bat, Home Hill posted a formidable 7/257 from 30 overs. Mitchell Price-Wilson set the tone with 55, Jay Leckenby blasted 40, and Sameer Korgaonkar stole the show with 63 from just 35 balls, including five fours and five sixes. Cameron Butterworth added an unbeaten 23 in the closing overs.
Defending the total, Home Hill shared the wickets around as Wanderers were bowled out for 150 in 28.3 overs. Travis Butler and Mitchell Price-Wilson led the attack with 3/12 each, while Cameron Butterworth, Roopesh Krishnan, Jay Leckenby and Kiriti Sanga also contributed.
All three Home Hill teams will play in Townsville next weekend. For match-day details, visit the Home Hill Cricket Association Facebook page.
