Sun may finally rise for Beechworth’s A grade

BEECHWORTH’S A grade side may finally take the field this weekend following a unique extended mid-season break. The Wanderers’ match with Yarrawonga Mulwala was abandoned last week as the Stan Hargreaves Oval pitch was deemed unfit for play following a heavy downpour of rain last Friday night. While other fixtures were played out as one day matches across the WDCA, Beechworth’s A grade were made to sit out on action for a fourth straight weekend, following two bye weeks and two straight washouts. But, unless circumstances unforeseen to Bureau of Meteorology forecasts hit on Saturday, the Wanderers look set to play out their one dayer against Wangaratta at Norm Minns Oval. The Magpies are coming off back-to-back wins following successful run chases against the Lakers and Benalla, with Jimmy Thewlis coming into strong all-round form with bat and ball. The last time Beechworth were on the pitch was on November 9 against Rovers United Bruck, when they were bowled out for 46 on a second day of a two-day fixture. Beechworth are unbeaten in their previous two one-day games so far this season. In other grades, B grade fell by seven wickets to Milawa after having thir match moved from the turf pitch of Baarmutha Park to Mayday Hills. They will take on Delatite in Mansfield this week in search of their first win before the Christmas break. C Grade on the other hand are yet to lose a game, winning their sixth straight in a smashing 108-run win over Benalla blue at Stanley. Chris Nuck led the way with an unbeaten 69 while wickets were shared with the ball, with Kane Niklaus, Jed Enslow and Ryan Niklaus finishing with two each. C grade will head to Gapsted to take on the Gorillas on Saturday.
