11th May 2021 3:00 PM Mike Nowlan BRAD Hines described the latest Lockyer/Ipswich clash with Gold Coast Thunder as a "dour struggle" on a slow pitch. Gold Coast won by three runs in the low scoring game at Ropehill on Sunday. Sent in to bat, the visitors struggled to be 6 55 before a late order rally got them to 9/136 off 45 overs. Excellent bowling by Glenn Jackwitz (1/14 off eight overs), in partnership with Jeff Evans (1/23) kept a tight rein on the Gold Coast top order. Brian Olsen (1/14 off eight overs) and Col Taylor (3/16 off eight overs) contained the middle order. The bowlers were well supported by Lockyer/Ipswich's fielding.
