Atherton back in the winner’s circle
ATHERTON is back in the winner’s circle after downing a depleted Mulgrave side in their cricket match in Cairns on Saturday.
Captain Tom Boorman returned to the side and notched up 31 runs for his team, while Cameron Davis also displayed some batting talent, picking up a run-a-ball with his score of 31.
Boorman also featured with the ball, taking three wickets in the match alongside Greg Misener who made a huge contribution with his four wickets.
Atherton batted first, notching up 143 runs, but Mulgrave had no way of matching it, being bowled out in the 35th over for 127.
The Atherton side is now sitting in third sport on the ladder.
The Mareeba Bandits had a shocker against top-of-the-table Norths at Borzi Park on Saturday, being bowled out in the 20th over for just 64 runs.
Norths put 209 on the scoreboard in their innings, with Arjun Maini the top scorer with 55 runs.
Tyson Brown was the best of Mareeba’s bowlers, taking four wickets.
But when it came to bat, Mareeba fell well short, with Nadeem Chohan the top scorer with just 12 runs. Captain Brendan Falvo and Brown were the only other batsmen to get to double figures.
Norths’ Corey Domic and Kadan Ford did the damage, taking four wickets each.
