Gold squeeze into semi-finals with last round thriller

CRICKET: Ten runs was the difference as Tewantin-Noosa fell short of Gympie's 177 at Read Park, giving the Gold the first innings win that was enough to gain a division one semifinals berth, ousting a defeated Maroochydore at Caboolture.

Gympie had set the Thunder a gettable target on the first day after attacking with the bat to give plenty of time for a result and optimum points, but lost time to rain as the home side ended day one at 3/59. The resumption saw Tewantin slowly work away at the target with Andy Kratzmann and nightwatchman Keegan Bean progressing to 94 after 18 more overs.

Jackson White had entered the attack, slowing an already cautious partnership, and with Jake Vidler in a similar vein the runs dried up, until indecision brought about the run-out of Bean. When Brycen Mitchell immediately returned with the ball to have Kratzmann caught behind, the momentum shifted to the Gold, and from there White and Mitchell slowly unravelled the batting from 5/101, while Andre Cave chimed in to maintain the pressure.

Jake Dennien and Scott Aufderheide reached 8/152, then Troy Dennien and Tom Stewart held on to 167 before White claimed his fourth wicket, the best return in an understrength attack that did everything required to get the Gold home.

Points were still a premium and Gympie skipper Steve Brady hit out for a century from 69 deliveries, pushing the total to 167 from 31 overs to seal the side's inclusion next weekend with a visit to Caboolture.

Play started early at Grant Road to make up for lost time on day one, Caboolture batting on from 8/294 to 329 against Maroochydore, who needed not to lose to survive in the top four. A draw with good runs for the Swans may have been sufficient, but after a sound start of 45 from Callum Stitt and James Chaplin, an unlucky run-out at 74 saw Chaplin gone, then two balls later Adam Thornton stumped to tilt the scales at 3/74.

When Lachlan Kropp was caught at 80, then skipper Blaine Schloss run out, Maroochydore's innings was in disarray, limping to 141 as Jack Connew did his usual clean-up with 4/34. The Swans' season closed bowling to the Snakes, with Glen Batticciotto out for 7 in a season tally of 927.

Glasshouse batted on from 8/251 to 273 against Yandina at home, setting the Pioneers a challenge of 181 to make the Rangers bat a second time, a task unfulfilled as Steve Heise reaped 7/19 to dismiss the visitors for 71 and an early finish. The outright points lift Glasshouse to third place and a visit to Tewantin next week.

Caloundra turned Nambour's 6/55 chasing 176 into an all out 101 at the Showgrounds for the Lighthouses to close the season with a good win. Liam French starred with seven sixes and six fours for 77 from 49 deliveries as Caloundra enjoyed batting again to 7/164.
