GLOUCESTER’S Tier 1 cricket side saw their season come to an end in a tightly contested semi final against Taree United, with the match remaining in the balance until late before Taree secured victory with just two overs remaining.
Batting first, Gloucester posted a competitive total built around a strong innings from Johny Cornelius, who top scored with a patient and composed 54 from 85 balls.
Landon Blissett contributed 22, while Michael Fraser and Jamie Andrews both added valuable 25s to help Gloucester build pressure throughout the innings.
Gloucester’s bowlers fought hard to defend the total.
Beau Laurie was the standout performer with an excellent spell of 3 for 14 from 5 overs.
Charley Puthur Davis also impressed with 2 wickets, while Jye Barkwill and Adam Cameron each claimed a wicket.
Sadly, this is the final week now for all Bushman teams, the committee would like to thank the Club’s sponsors for the year and the team captains for putting sides on the field every week.
