WACA Pennant competition semi final winners

WESTERN Warrior Murray Goodwin's sparkling century has taken Subiaco-Floreat into their third consecutive WACA Pennant competition grand-final.

Goodwin hit 118 not out as Subi reeled in Wanneroo's 245 for the loss of four wickets.

Wanneroo batted first on a lively WACA Ground wicket and fell under the spell of Subiaco's deadly new-ball duo of Gavin Swan and Sam Howman.

Wanneroo was 6-99 but recovered thanks to a record-breaking partnership between Graham (39) and Gary (63) Atkinson.

The brothers put on 97 for the ninth wicket which was a record for Wanneroo. Swan finished with 4-64 from 27.5 overs and Howman claimed 3-66 from 32.

In the other semi-final Warriors' rookie fast-bowler Michael Thistle claimed career best figures of 7-73 to bowl Bayswater-Morley into the SunSmart League grand-final.

Melville had no answer to Thistle's pace and swing as they folded for 173.

All-rounder Shawn Gillies top scored with 41 but captain Adam Voges could only manage one.

Bayswater batted first and was soon in trouble with in-form paceman Paul Wilson claiming the first four wickets to fall.

From 4-43 the Bear's recovered to 216 thanks to 47 to Nick Pishos and 40 to captain Chris Mason. Wilson finished with 4-47 from 28 overs.

Bayswater last held the first-grade pennant in 1998-99. The teams will clash at the WACA Ground in a two-day match this weekend.

Radio 1170 6AR will provide ball by ball coverage in Western Australia for both days play.
