Slow start to season for local sides

THE local cricket sides are yet to find their groove early in the season after both fell short of a win at the weekend.

Mareeba travelled to Trinity Beach to take on Barron River on Saturday, where they managed 109 runs from 36 overs, to which Barron River chased down after 17.4 overs.

Meanwhile, Atherton travelled to the southern Cairns region to take on Mulgrave and posted 125 runs after their 40-over innings.

The strong Cairns side chased the visitors down after 21.5 overs, with a score of 2/128. Atherton’s Brendan Nasser earned the highest score for his side, with 48 runs from 90 balls including one 4 and one 6.

Next Saturday 7 November, Mareeba will travel to Edmonton to take on Mulgrave from 12.30pm, while Atherton play to host to the Cyclones from 12.30pm at Loder Park.
