The Grenfell Blues has had a strong run over the 2024/2025 South West Slopes Senior Mixed B Grade season, and they are looking to continue that into this Saturday's match against current competition leaders, the Junee Stallions.
Grenfell Cricket Club's Shaun Logan said so far their season is going good, with the team sitting in second place on the ladder with eight wins, and two losses.
Mr Logan said the last time they came up against Junee they had a smaller squad able to play, but this weekend they should be able to field a full squad, which should make the match more even.
Some of the challenges they have found o9ver this year, Mr Logan said, was fielding players during harvest, however they have a squad of 16 who have qualified for the finals, with some players coming up from the junior squads.
Disappointingly for Grenfell, four of their matches this season have been washed out, with last week's match against Murringo abandoned after the innings break due to heavy rain.
