SOUTHERN CRICKET ASSOCIATION
Twenty20 Superbash grand finals

A NEVER-SAY-DIE never say die attitude saw New Norfolk III take out the Seventh Grade Twenty20 Super Bash Grand Final last Thursday night. After being bowled out for just 83, the Red Caps knew they had to pull out all stops to have any chance of victory in the match that counted. And this they did, bowling out the Weily Park Rockers for just 40 runs. Opening bowlers Graeme Rowlands 1-11 and Jake Bearman 1-9 off their four overs began the pressure that was never eased. Then came the man of the T20 final, Cody Morgan-Coleman. After taking a hat-trick in the semi-final, the 16 year old again turned it on taking 2 for just 6 runs off his four overs to give him man of the match honours. Stuart Muir also showed his ability when it mattered most, taking 2-13 off his four overs. In the field the bowlers were backed up superbly with four run-outs of the Rockers batsman being effected. Earlier with the bat, David Mitlemore made 17, while Jye Bearman made 13 (two fours) and Graeme Rowlands made 13no with two fours. Well done Red Caps, it goes to show that in the funny old game of cricket, you are never out of it.

In the Second Grade T20 grand final, Gretna I went down to the Knights by 34 runs at Pontville. The Knights made 6/129 off their 20 overs and in reply Gretna made 10/95 off 19.3 overs. Corey Ransley put in a terrific effort with the ball to finish with fine figures of 1-8 off his four overs including a wicket off the first ball of the match. Aaron Maddox took 1-12 (3), Ben Rainbird 1-20 (3), Daniel Browning 1-30 (3) and Peter Jelkic 1-33 (4). With the bat, Bruce Emery made 24 (two fours), Aaron Maddox -9 (three fours), Corey Ransley 16 (one four, one six) and Rhys Browning 14 (three fours).

In the Fourth Grade final, New Norfolk II went down to Bagdad by three wickets. It was a close match with Bagdad having just the one over remaining once the target was reached. Opener Glenn Williams made a very good 40 with the bat, hitting five fours. Liam O'Brien and Josh Walsh took a wicket each.

Gretna I and New Norfolk II should hold their heads high as they gave it their best shot and everyone knows that in T20 matches it's a fine line between winning and losing.

Molesworth burnoff planned this weekend

Click image to enlarge

A 16 hectare fuel reduction burn is planned for an area at Molesworth this weekend. Weather permitting, the Parks and Wildlife Service will conduct a burnoff at McKenzies Rd tomorrow as part of the statewide fuel reduction program.

The program aims to reduce the bushfire risk to help protect lives and communities. The total area of this burn will be approximately 16ha and it is likely to take 2-3 days to complete. Smoke may persist for some days afterward, depending on wind conditions.

During burning operations public access to this area will be restricted. The public is asked to remain well out of the burn site while it is taking place and for the following days until safety checks have been made along tracks and trails.

"Please comply with directions from staff or any signs if you are in the area" Tasmania Fire Service community engagement officer Stephen Bresnehan said. "While the fire intensity will be low, it will generate flames, smoke and ash," he said.

People with medical conditions are advised to have a personal plan for avoiding smoke from the burn. Advice is available from the Department of Health and Human Services website
www.dhhs.tas.gov.au/peh/alerts/air/precautions or www.asthmatas.org.au.

Further information about this burn is available by contacting the Parks and Wildlife Service on 0418 311 697. A map of planned burns is available on the Tasmania Fire Service website at
