AS the rain continued to tumble, the Ipswich cricket competition's leading all-rounder was feeling optimistic.
While the ongoing showers might mean some or all of this weekend's Cricket Ipswich grand final play could be washed out, Mick Sippel was upbeat.
"We've had about 60-70mm across the area, which has been nice, over the last few days,'' Sippel said.
The cricket stalwart is a national manager for Terranova Seeds, having previously been the Lockyer Valley Growers Association president.
"It's still raining nicely now . . . mostly happy farmers I'm dealing with.''
However, Sippel said the region had "nowhere near enough'' rain to get the creeks running.
