THAT RAREST of events – a Cooper Gooding dismissal with the bat – was a mere hiccup for the Magpies as they finished the junior home and away season with a big win over Bridgewater.
The Bulls total of 36 was never going to be successfully defended against the strong Boort Yando batting lineup, and the Magpies were untroubled in making 7-200 off 54 overs.
Gooding, who was averaging 207.5 with the bat before the match, could manage only 22 off 39 deliveries, falling to the bowling of Connor Alexander.
It was a mere blip for Boort Yando, with Brodie McPherson, who retired not out on 51 from 50 balls and Finlay Arnold, who finished not out on 37, making the bulk of the score.
Opener Tyler Murphy hit an unbeaten century for Kingower as the Redbacks outclassed Wedderburn Band.
He made 106 of his side’s 9-230 from 63 overs, overwhelming the Band’s 75 all out from the previous SaTurday.
