🏏 🏏 Grand Final Match Report – Airlie Beach vs Brothers (T20 3rd Grade)
Harrup Park 1 – Great Barrier Reef Arena

A heartbreaking finish for Airlie Beach in the Grand Final, falling just short by 8 runs, 5/101 chasing 8/109—but it was a performance full of fight, pride, and a moment of brilliance that will be remembered for a long time.

Airlie Beach were exceptional with the ball, led by a sensational spell from Aaron Regan, who delivered a Grand Final hat-trick in the final over to finish with 3/14 off 4 overs. In a stunning burst, he removed three batters in consecutive deliveries, completely halting Brothers’ momentum and giving Airlie Beach real belief heading into the chase.

He had great support from Andrew Clark (2/19), while Neville Suell (1/22) and Jonathan Maxwell (1/28) also chipped in with wickets. The pressure was built collectively, with the bowlers and fielders working as a unit—highlighted by catches from Jonathan Maxwell, Jake Kelly, Joshua Geisler, and a sharp run-out involving Regan himself. Restricting Brothers to 109 on a Grand Final wicket was a top effort.

Chasing 110, Airlie Beach had contributions across the lineup but just couldn’t quite build the one big partnership needed. Joshua Geisler led the scoring with a determined 33 off 47 balls, while captain Jake Kelly anchored things with 31 off 37, keeping the innings steady under pressure.

Aaron Regan (12 off 12) added useful runs in the middle, and Dinusha Wijethunga (12 off 12)* remained not out at the end, fighting until the last. Neville Suell (5 off 5)* also stayed unbeaten, but the target proved just out of reach.

Despite wickets falling at key moments, the game stayed alive right until the end—just a few more runs or one more partnership could have changed everything.

In the end, it wasn’t the result Airlie Beach wanted, but the effort was undeniable. A Grand Final performance built on teamwork, resilience, and that unforgettable hat-trick from Aaron Regan.

Final Result: Brothers 8/109 defeated Airlie Beach 5/101
A fantastic performance from Airlie Beach in our first year in the Mackay Cricket Competition - so close to glory. Onwards and upwards! Congratulations to everyone involved with the club and for helping us to show we can play!🏏⭐🏏

🏏 Airlie Beach fall short in tight Dixon Homes T20 3rd Grade clash with Brothers 🏏

In wet, tricky conditions, Airlie Beach took the field on Saturday for a rain-shortened 15-over Dixon Homes T20 3rd Grade battle against Brothers, who currently lead the table. The Airlie Beach team battled hard with both bat and ball and can take plenty of positives into the next game.

After losing the toss, Airlie Beach were sent into bat in wet conditions. A gritty start gave way to a defendable total, with a rain-reduced 15 overs. William Logan showing intent with the bat anchored the innings with 20 runs off 10 (2 fours, 1 six) and Matthew Vanderwolf 6 runs off 9.
Middle contributions: Neville Suell contributed 11 off 12, and Jake Seaton added 14 off 12 to push us toward a defendable total.
Final flourish: Jonathan Maxwell (9*) and Fraser Simpson (1*) remained not out as Airlie Beach posted 7/93 in their 15 overs.

In response, the Airlie Beach bowlers kept the Brothers run chase in check during the first 10 overs with some tight bowling and fielding. However, some big hitting by Brothers saw them post 4/94 in 12.5 overs to edge Airlie Beach in a closely fought contest.

The Airlie Beach bowlers and fielders did their best to apply pressure in difficult conditions. While control was tough at times, a couple of bowlers stood out, namely Andrew Clark - 3 overs for 11 runs with 2 wickets, and Neville Suell - 2 overs for 10 runs with 1 wicket. Andrew Clark was named Player of the Match for his outstanding bowling effort in wet conditions.

A huge thank you to our players, supporters, and club sponsors for backing the team. We head into the next fixture (hopefully in dry conditions) with plenty of positives to build on. 🏏🏏
