Slatter starts Warwick cricket season well for Redbacks
CRICKET: Coen Slatter hit a quick 33 for Redbacks before rain washed out play in round 2 of Condamine Cup cricket at Slade Park on Saturday.
Batting first, Railway Hotel Rascals scored 109 in 30 overs, Paul Christensen top scoring with an unbeaten 25.
Mark Locke took 3-10 off 2.4 overs while Morgan Gilchrist had figures of 3-27 off seven overs.
Slatter was dismissed just as the rain started with Redbacks 1-50 off seven overs and favourites to win.
Tom Morris took the wicket for Rascals.
Rain ruined what could have been an exciting game at Inglewood with the home side making 94 and having Maryvale-Condamine in trouble at 3-20.
Jamien Smith top scored for Inglewood with 39.
Dave Walker took 2-13 off five overs for Maryvale but the big news was the form of two new players.
Fergus Connolly is a gap student at Scots PGC who played in England last year and he took 2-21 off seven overs in his debut for Maryvale.
New Clintonvale resident Andrew McConnell took 1-9 off seven overs, outstanding economy in his first game since playing in the Ipswich competition last season.
In the game at Allora, Allora scored 9-138 against Wheatvale before the game was called off when rain started.
Gavan Scheiwe top scored for Allora with 48 and junior recruit Jayden O'Brien took 3 for 15 for Wheatvale.
Sunday's game between Colts and Sovereign will not be played due to the weather.
