Third grade Redland cricketers have stormed into the grand final

On Saturday, Redlands posted a score of 187 and were bowled out on the stroke of stumps.

Playing at home on Peter Burge Oval for their one day semi final on Sunday, Tigers started well with the ball and continued that momentum all the way through the innings, taking wickets at regular intervals.

Scott McAuliffe scored with intent early on to remain unbeaten on 44 (54) but it was Michael Strauss who iced the game with 35 not out from 27 balls.

Their outstanding play booked them a spot in the grand final against Gold Coast on February 6.

First grade was 3/56 until a partnership between returning Heat representative, James Bazley (48) and Queensland U/19 batsman Dylan Kritzinger (40) began to steady the ship.

After Bazley fell, Wests cleaned up the tail and Tigers were bowled out for 166. In reply Western Suburbs were 1/126.

Second grade was sent in to bat in less than ideal conditions against Western Suburbs at Graceville and slumped to 9/132 in between several rain delays disrupting play.

All of the bowlers chipped in for fourth grade with youngster Jackson Todman playing only his third game, claiming 3/19 and opener Chris Barker snaring 3/24.

Redlands finished up on 2/31 in a very low scoring day of cricket.

In another low scoring affair, fifth grade batted first and finished the day on 6/154.

With weather playing plenty of havoc around the grounds, sixes fell victim to the coin toss this week.

The chips did not fall sixth grade's way, bowled out for 74 with wests 1/66 at the end of play. But they will have another chance to win the second innings.

The women's second grade side were dismissed for 160 from 40 overs against Sandgate-Redcliffe.
