THE undefeated Landsborough Cricket Club’s under 13s B team are premiers after defeating Caloundra White by five runs in the final.
Landsborough batted first, scoring 83 runs. In a tight finish, Caloundra were closing in on the score, but two wickets in the third last over of the game sealed the victory for the Loggers.
Committee member, Dave Mcintyre, said it was an exciting match and that the club was proud of the squad – the only premiership-winning team for the club this season.
“We are very proud, it’s been a long time since we won a flag in juniors, a few of our other teams made the finals like the Division four men’s team, but the under 13’s were the only premier team,” he said.
Dave said it was a great team effort, with everyone contributing to the end result, both in the final and throughout the entire season.
In the final itself, Ryder Stelzer scored the second most runs in the innings with 13 runs before he backed up with two wickets for just seven runs.
“James Fowler was highest scorer in Landsborough’s innings, hitting 24 runs not out,” Dave said.
The winning team was made up of both 13-year-olds and 11-year-olds, proving that age does not matter when it comes to cricket.
