NANA Glen has continued its unbeaten season in the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s first grade competition, with a dominant seven wicket win against Diggers Cricket Club Inc. in their one dayer in Coffs Harbour.

Nana Glen extended their lead at the top of the ladder and clinched the minor premiership with their fourth win from as many games in a rain affected season.

“It was a comfortable win and Nicklaus bowled quite well, we have a pretty strong young side,” he said.

The Coffs Harbour first grade season is scheduled to continue this weekend with the final round before the semi-finals.

Nana Glen take on the Northern Districts Rebels in Coffs Harbour, while Diggers Cricket Club Inc. host Sawtell at Fitzroy Oval.
