Jameson Hinds
The local third-grade cricket derby between Bangalow and Byron went down to the wire on Saturday.
Batting first, Byron were bowled out for 170, with Scott Kilpatrick continuing his impressive season with a solid 48.
He was supported by Chief Wiggem, with some massive hitting on 35, but tight bowling by the Bangalow cartel kept the total in check.
Connor Redden and Nigel Dornan scored three wickets each.
The chase started briskly, with Brett Macphail hitting 40, and Dan Bensley 28, but Byron cut through the Banga’s middle order, before the tail wagged with Connor Redden 41, Hamish Redden 12 and Old Man Redden hitting the winning runs with five balls to spare.
This keeps Bangalow in first place, with the finals approaching.
