Kukerin Dumbleyung Cricket Club
 Pictured above(L-R): D.Leo, K.Joyce, C.Holder and D.Head photo taken by S.Leo | Four local boys headed down the coast on Saturday to play cricket against Albany in this year’s Toyota Country Cup qualifying round. The 20/20 format is a bit of a change to the normal 45 over cricket played locally with the winner progressing to the next round of fixtures. The Upper Great Southern team did not have much success on the Saturday,losing both games convincingly so no deciding game was required on the Sunday. Highlights of the weekend included Heady getting hit for one of the biggest sixes ever seen in Albany, Kal getting spanked for 32 off one over, and Conan and Dame copping some stick when it was their turn to bowl also. Not many runs were scored between the local lads either. We wish them better luck this weekend as KDCC play Cuballing as normal fixtures return. Article by D.Leo |
Kukerin Bowling Club
Kukerin travelled to Kondinin to take on the league leaders last Saturday. A very interesting and competitive game ensued. In the early stages of the contest three Kukerin rinks led and the fourth rink was locked in a close game. As the afternoon wore on leads fluctuated on a couple of rinks and one Kukerin rink began to take control, however late in the game one Kondinin side stormed away in the concluding stages to a large win and two other rinks also won narrowly to leave Kukerin with only one rink win and Kondinin winning the aggregate by a narrow margin of ten shots resulting in a 7—1 win to Kondinin.
Sunday saw the completion of the men’s singles championship. The first semi-final between Ian Faulkner and Clive Bahr was evenly and keenly contested early, however, as the game progressed Bahr gradually asserted his authority and won his way into yet another final. The second game between Peter Davidson and Tim Adams proved to be a thriller. Scores were even nearly all the way and at the end Davidson prevailed 25---23 in a very good display of draw bowling by both players. The final between Bahr and Davidson was keenly contested and scores were locked together a few times but as the game wore on Bahr again gradually gained control to be Kukerin Club champion for season 2016—17.
The plate event final was won convincingly by Matthew King from Phil Adams.
Next Saturday Kukerin will be at home for the final game of the season against Karlgarin. This game has become a cutthroat affair as the winner will progress into the finals and it will be curtains to the loser. There will be bowls practise on Friday afternoon from 4.30 pm. Hope to see a good roll-up.
