JUNIOR CRICKET

Junior hard ball cricket season will not be able to start tonight due to school grounds still being unsuitable for use.

Also affected is the Under 16s which will also still need at least another week due to ground situation before the season starts.

The T20 Blast cricket will still be held at Hardinge St Oval at 4.45pm on Monday.

Hopefully finer weather will see the competition get underway next Friday night with updates to be in the Pastoral Times.

BADMINTON

Round six of the Deniliquin Badminton Spring Competition saw Shuttle Masters defeat Smashers, 340 to 328 points.

Fiona Milward from the Shuttle Masters was the only three game winner in this match.

In the other match Hotshots defeated Racqueteers 377 to 307.

Three game winners were all from Hotshots with Troy Grant, Damien Fullerton, Leonie Francis and Sharon Schultz dominant.

Round seven will be played on Monday with Smashers going up against Hotshots and Badminators taking on Shuttle Masters. Racqueteers have got the bye.

INDOOR SOCCER

Registrations for an over 15s indoor soccer comp will be held at the Deni Sports Stadium on Thursday night.

The comp will run on Thursdays from November 3 with a starting time of 6.30pm. It will be played for six weeks before having a Christmas break and starting again on January 12 for four more weeks with a two week final series.

For the competition to run smoothly there will need to be six teams of six-a side with expansion an option if needed.

The cost for the whole competition is $30 and as it is a mixed comp - anyone over 15 is welcome.
