The Narrabri District Cricket Association T20 season began on the weekend with six matches across two days in the two grades.
In one of the three first grade games the Crossroads Hotel Cricket Club first XI scored a dominant 10-wicket victory against Tatts at Hogan Oval on Saturday.

Meppem plays in the NSW Premier Cricket competition, more commonly known as Sydney grade cricket, for the Gordon Cricket Club.
However with his side not playing a game on the weekend Meppem was granted a release to play for the club with which he won two first grade grand finals and a second grade premiership.

Meppem bowled four overs in that innings, finishing with 2-12.
