PREMIERS: The victorious West team celebrating yesterday after wrapping up the finals.

West cruise to premiership

By Andrew Robertson

Minor premiers West have secured the 2011/2012 Barrier District Cricket League premiership - the club’s first in five years - after crushing last year’s premiers Central at the weekend.

The Robins dominated the best-of-three finals series against the Magpies who struggled against a bowling attack that restricted them to less than 90 runs in both games.

Chasing a modest total of 83, West won by four wickets in the first final on Saturday before wrapping up the series yesterday with a dominant 122 run victory.

Grand Final one to relish

The Barrier District Cricket League draws the curtain on its 2011/12 cricket season with the start of its Grand Final series of games today after a lost weekend to rain last weekend.

The A Grade Final at the Alma Oval will be a replay of the 2010/11 Grand Final between West and Central. 

Finals washed out

Saturday, 3rd March, 2012

The A-Grade cricket finals series will make a delayed start with this weekend’s games cancelled due to recent heavy rain.

The finals are now scheduled to commence on March 10 at the Alma Oval, however curator Rob Barrett will prepare a wicket at the Jubilee Oval in case the Alma is unplayable next weekend.

B-Grade grand finals are still set to go ahead, with the first final due to commence today at 12.30pm at the Norm Fox Sports Complex.
