Saturday, 25th February, 2012
GAME ON: North will be hoping for some big innings from its top order batsmen including the in-form Tobias Hack.
Central, on face value, look to be warm favourites to advance to the Barrier District Cricket League Final after today’s Elimination Final at the Alma Oval.
But this season’s form line could prove to be a little misleading as North has not fielded its best complement of players on too many occasions and on most occasions when that they have met the Magpies they have been well under full strength.
With so much at stake North appears to have named one of its best sides for the season today.

Openers Scott Rogers and Ben Victory defended their wickets grimly before Jarred Paull had Rogers caught behind after scoring one run from 46 balls.

Ruddock leaves on winning note

FITTING FINALE: Former North coach David Ruddock hangs the club’s 35th premiership plaque on the clubroom wall with North President Gloria Hack, co-captain Codie Howard and Jarrad Ruddock.
By Darrin Manuel
David Ruddock may not have been completely ready to give up North’s top coaching role, but he has certainly gone out on a high.
Work commitments have forced the Bulldogs’ stalwart to step down from coaching the club’s League side after what can only be described as a stellar year.
