B Grade held centre stage at Brooks Oval after the A Grade Final was postponed, with Varley Oval deemed too wet, the outfield failing to meet playing conditions.

Defending their title from last season, Invincibles took on Empire Warriors in a battle for the crown.

Invincibles won the toss and chose to bat on an oval that contained a few damp patches, but was presented by a vigilant and hard working council staff with a rating of good.

Tim Torgau opened for Invincibles, and produced a captain’s knock that gave his side every opportunity.

His 47 runs contained some powerful boundaries and a mighty six, his effort causing concern for the Empire Warriors bowling attack.

He was supported by Jesse Williams with 26 and the side had 112 before their third wicket fell.

Jason Muhs chipped in with 17 then a major batting collapse saw the Warriors take control of the innings.

Seven wickets fell for 29 and the Invincibles total of 141 placed immense pressure on their bowlers.

The successful bowlers for Warriors were Ray Walker 3-16 off four, Ian Robinson 2-22 off 8 while Preston Connors was economical with 2-24, also off eight overs.

Preston Connors opened for Warriors and compiled a handy 27 in pursuit of the moderate target.

Ian Robinson made a useful 29 and at 3-61 the game was slightly favouring the Warriors.

At this stage a match winning innings took on a significant proportion courtesy of Rodney Blair.

His keen eye and powerful hitting changed the course of the game in no time and with three dominant sixes in a personal total of 53 not out, he delivered the B grade title to his excited teammates.

At five wickets down for 145, the Warriors cruised to a comfortable win.

The Invincibles bowlers to bag wickets were Mike Williams 2-44 off 6, Troy McLachlan 2-47 off 7 and Scott Peterson with 1-28.

The two sides can now sit back and enjoy the A Grade Final at Varley Oval next Saturday, April 1, between Staggy Creek and Square & Compass, weather permitting.
