Under-14s win way to final while 12s have chance to upset Bathurst

The under-14s won their spot in the final on the back of a big semi-final win against Mudgee, while the under-12s will have the chance to avenge the weekend's loss to Bathurst by claiming the crown. 

Phenomenal bowling performances from Harry Priest and Arnie Tancred, who took 2-9 off eight overs and 3-12 off seven respectively, were the key pillars as Orange's under 14s limit the visiting Mudgee side to just 76 in their 50-over game. 

Lachie Hunter also took 2-5 from 3.5 overs as the whole Orange bowling attack strangled the visitors to a run rate of less than two an over. 

Charlie Tink top-scored with 18 in the chase, which Orange completed with more than 20 overs to spare.

Gus Cornish, Lachie Hunter and Matt McKenna all scored 15, with the first two unbeaten as Orange lost just three wickets in the chase. 

The under 14s finished locked in a three-way tie with Mudgee and the Blue Mountains on 26 points in the final standings, but secured a home final on the back of a superior net run rate. 

Meanwhile, the under-12s will be hoping to reverse this weekend's result against Bathurst when they take on the top side in the grand final on Sunday. 

The side either needed to win or for Mudgee to pull off a big upset the Blue Mountains to have any chance of making the final, which they did in the final over. 

Ruben Newton and Charles Randall top-scored with 33 not out and 28 respectively for the ladder-leaders at Jack Brabham Park. 

Their knocks helped the visitors post 4-135 from their 40 overs, which proved too much for the hosts to chase down. 

Tom Blowes and Oliver Jarick put on 30 for the first wicket, but Orange couldn't match the partnership, losing regular wickets on the chase. 

Ollie Brincat held the innings together as he hit 35 before being bowled, but was left with too much to do to chase down Bathurst, as Cooper Stephen starred with the ball, taking 4-32 from seven overs as Blayde Burke and Gilby Glawson also struck twice each.
