Upper Hunter Cricket – Round 11

By Russell Sakey

A couple of untimely showers of rain caused the demise of almost all the cricket matches in the Upper Hunter.

Only the game at Merriwa was completed, and here it was that Merriwa continued its fine form by defeating Belltrees in a game that went 79 overs.

It was D Monroe who starred for Merriwa , with 68 with the bat, then taking 4 wickets for 38, to help Merriwa to a fine win.
