Dive for the crease: Judd Cuttriss takes a tumble in an attempt to make his ground in the Goulburn Murray U13B Junior Country Week match at Tongala's Brose Reserve on Thursday.

Three Rochester girls were part of Goulburn Murray Cricket’s girls under-14 team which qualified for the final of the Northern Rivers Junior Country Week carnival.

Imogen Kath scored 49 runs, while Hayley Broucek and Cadence Major were also in the squad that won the opening match against Murray Valley by eight wickets and beat Bendigo by five wickets in round three.

Bamawm Lockington United star Sohpie Good produced the highlight of the carnival when she claimed five wickets in the final against Gisborne.

Gisborne still managed 8-166 from its 40 overs and GM was all out for 52 in reply.

Quick single: Bamawm Lockington United's Kade Pearse sets off on a single in his Goulburn Murray under-15 Junior Country Week carnival innings at Windridge Oval in Rochester on Wednesday.
