Regional teams came together at Ballina’s Fripp Oval for an Indigenous cricket challenge carnival on January 26, last week.
The Bullinah Bears, Lismore Boomerangs and the Kyogle Yowies played T20 games across the day, with each team playing each other once.
The Bullinah Bears won out on the day, collecting two wins from two.
‘There was great spirit among the teams, they played really fairly, but with a lot of intensity,’ Kyogle Yowie player George Worthington said.
‘There was team spirit but really good comraderie across the whole group as well.
‘A couple of the games went down to the last over, which made it really exciting fo everyone.
‘Bullinah deserved their win, they were the in form team and the strongest on the day,’ he said.
Bullinah’s veteran Don Daley was the best bowler on the day, topping the wicket takers list.
