And that is the season over!

After a washed out match against Sovereign Animals at Slade Park.

Opening batsman Ben McClure, who is coming off last games century and Brad the Captain of the Rascals hitting 88 runs off 12 overs with no loss.

A very disappointed rascals team after a season of washed our matches.
But a great season all in all...

Some new players. Great catches, bowling all and fielding backed up by some superb batting.

See you all next season.

Game update - Wheatvale vs. Rascals @ Queens Park (Synthetic).

Wheatvale won the toss and chose to bat on what was an ominous day of rainclouds.

We had some energy in the field and great bowling with 3 wickets going to Joe and Jamie and 1 wicket going to Mick, Samuel, Jon and Kira. Jamie getting best figures for the match with 3-22 off 8 overs.

Rascals bowing Wheatvale out for 165.

Joe and Brad opened for the Rascals getting to 85 without loss just before drinks. Samuel, Joe, Mick all falling in a concession shortly after drinks. With a mid order chase, needing 70 runs off 40 deliveries, soon came another collapse and being bowled out for a total of 108. Joe top scored for the Rascals with 43.

It couldn't have been done without the help of a few non regulars filling the gaps from the normal regulars who couldn't play.

Great game and well played by all.

SOVEREIGN ANIMALS vs RAILWAY HOTEL RASCALS @ Mayhew Oval, Warwick.

Having won the toss and electing to bat on a wicket that resembled the Birdsville Track after a rain, with cracks and flakes of pitch lifting from every ball making the wicket unpredictable and testing.

Rascals were fifth going into last weekend's round but Sovereign has moved closer to fifth after the win.

Sovereign denied Rascals another point by winning with two wickets in hand.

After the top order cracking like the wicket, Brad top scored with 32 in the Rascals total of 146. Davis took 4-27 off seven overs.

Sovereign scored 8-150 to win, Luke Cullen top scored with 35 and Jon Millard with what could be his season best, took 4-18 off eight overs for Rascals.

Catching up on other games this season.

Rascals vs. Colts @ Slade Park

This is the hottest day I have played cricket for a while. It was unbelievably hot.

Warwick Hotel Colts scored of 7-207.

Poole fell to the first ball bowled by Railway Rascals and Queensland Country under-15 player Kira Holmes after hitting a pull shot for six of the bowling of Sam Gray and braking one of the lights on Robbo's vehicle.

In only his second bowl for the club, leg spinner Sam Gray took 0-43 for Rascals but Poole said he had potential.

"Sam has good variety and can spin his wrong-un,” Colts player said.

"He will be hard to face once he hits the right spot with his deliveries and could be a really good bowler for Warwick. Good spinners get wickets.”

Railway Hotel Rascals made a good fist of the run chase before being dismissed for 191.

Mick Kelp top scored with 36, followed by Joe Morris 32 and Kira Holmes 20.

A mighty fine batting performance from Ben McClure on Saturday as he scored his first century in Condamine Cup cricket but it wasn't enough for his Railway Hotel Rascals team to win the local derby in Allora.

Batting first, Allora made 6-238, Gavan Scheiwe top scoring with 67 and Will Ole making 49.

Brad Johnson was the best of the Rascals bowlers with 3-27 off five overs.

Rascals lost an early wicket before McClure, who scored 105, and Joe Morris, 36, rescued the innings with a second-wicket partnership.

Jon Millard chimed in with 47 but the bowling of Stewart Henderson who took 3-20 off eight overs helped restrict Rascals to 8-235, four short of a win.
