Caboolture cricket div 1 and 2 teams miss out on GFs
CABOOLTURE’S hopes of a grand final double were dashed over the weekend, with both their First and Second Grade teams falling short in their semi-finals.
In First Grade, the Snakes had a nightmare outing against Tewantin Noosa, crumbling to 10/108 after being sent in to bat.
Six batters failed to trouble the scorers, with Glen Batticciotto the lone resistance, top-scoring with 44 runs.
Tewantin made light work of the chase, cruising to 3/204.
Caboolture’s bowlers struggled to contain the opposition, with John Flew, Lachlan Ryan, and Matt Schubert each picking up a wicket.
The Second Grade side put up a bigger fight but fell just short against Glasshouse.
Winning the toss and electing to bat, Caboolture posted 10/144, with Nathan Rand leading the way with 35.
Glasshouse held their nerve, reaching 4/146 to claim the win.
Jack Williams, Zander Le Moray, Jake Heers, and Carter Simpson each chipped in with a wicket, but it wasn’t enough to stop Glasshouse’s momentum.
Despite the disappointment, Caboolture’s First Grade side can take pride in their One Day grand final victory back in January.
A win in the Two Day final would have capped off a rare double, something the club hasn’t achieved in years.
Meanwhile, the Second Grade side will be left wondering what could have been, as they finish the season without a grand final win.
