Northern Rivers Junior Country Week | Grand final wraps

Bendigo District Cricket Association, Murray Valley Cricket Association and Goulburn Murray Cricket all had at least one representative team in a grand final on the day.

In the under-17 competition, Bendigo reigned supreme thanks to a blistering 31 not out from 16 deliveries to Darcy Hunter.

Nick Wallace then took 3-4 to have Shepparton all-out for 53 in reply to 7-133, with Blake Armstrong's 21 from 18 deliveries the standout.

Shepparton had the better of Murray Valley in the under-16 tournament, racking up 5-243 before dismissing its opponent for 92.

Reily Menhenett (75), Josh Robertson (72) and Fletcher Paul (3-16) starred for the victors as Chase Hardwidge (25 from 65) and Jack Andrew (19) battled hard for Murray Valley.

Jai Bailey led Shepparton to under-15 glory, snaring 5-9 from eight overs to help defend his side's total of 124 against Goulburn Murray.

Tanner Tomkins (3-23) had been impressive with the ball for GMC, but his outfit could only manage 103 all-out in its innings.

Shepparton also defeated Goulburn Murray in the under-14 grand final on the back of 3-13 from Declan Newbound and an unbeaten 35 from James Jarrett.

Nate Rasmussen (16 from 58) top scored for GMC with the bat as News photographer Megan Fisher was on hand to capture some of the action at Vibert Reserve.

Bendigo fell to Shepparton in the under-13A decider despite Jacob Austin's 20 from 64 deliveries.

Sam O'Brien (50 retired not out), Noah Muir (30) and Ash Young (28 not out and 4-5) dominated for the hosts.
