Mon 29-Dec-2008 23:02
Following the SCG Country Cup Carnival held in Orange and Bathurst from 27-29 December 2008, Tamworth (seeded 1) and Stockton Nthn District (seeded 2) have qualified to play in the final of the SCG Country Cup at the SCG on Sunday 18th January.

Tamworth had a convincing win over Cricket Albury Wodonga (CAW) in their semi final, managing 9-236 from their allotted 50 overs with Tim Kensell (70) and Blake Fitzgerald (65) the pick of the bats. Crafty Albury medium pacer Gerard Midson had the excellent figures of 4-39, while young quick Ben Dower took 3-54.

In reply, the young CAW bats struggled against some hostile bowling from Josh Hazlewood, however it was the NSW Country Captain Jeff Cook was took the first 3 wickets with some clever bowling. Wickets fell regularly and apart from some late order hitting from Michael Booth (21), there were no other contributions of note and CAW were dismissed for 95. Cook finished with excellent figures of 4-18, while offie Tim Kensell snared 3-23.

In the all Newcastle semi final, Toronto Workers Kookaburras batted first and tallied a competitive 9-225 in their 50 overs. There were a number of contributors with the bat, the best being Joe Price with 56 and Aaron Gray 47. The wickets were shared around for Stockton with Tim Harding, Darren Whittingham and skipper Mark Dries all taking 2 wickets each.

In reply, Stockton lost 2 early wickets, however some scintillating batting by Steve Phillips and Mark Dries took the game away from the Kookaburras and allowed Stockton to cruise to victory with 10 overs remaining and for the loss of only 4 wickets.

Phillips remained unbeaten for a superb 132 while Dries scored an aggressive 43.
