THE Coffs Coast Chargers are into the Regional Bash semi-finals set to be played at one of the most hallowed grounds in world sport.

The Chargers T20 representative team qualified for the Regional Bash semi-finals after winning the Regional Bash qualifiers in Port Macquarie.

The Chargers will now head to Sydney to face other regional representative teams at the SCG early next year.

The Coffs Coast side qualified for the semi-finals with a 38-run win against the Macquarie Coast Stingers.

The Chargers opened the batting and defended a total of 2/145.

Chargers captain Richie Gallichan was happy with the competitive total they posted.

“We got off to a good start with the bat, we were solid with the bat without being brilliant, and our plan was to build a score rather than go out and try to sort of really slog it at the start,” he said.

‘I actually thought it (our total) was probably a little bit better than par on this ground, it’s actually a really big ground, and it’s a lot harder to find the fence than at Oxley.”

The Chargers are no strangers to making the semi-finals of the Regional Bash.

The Chargers last made the semi-finals of the competition in 2020, when they lost to the Lake Mac Attack at the SCG.

The Chargers also made the semi-finals in 2019, going down to the Central Coast Rush.

Both times the team that beat them would go on to win the grand final.
