After brushing aside another team, Queanbeyan head into this weekend's clash against Tuggeranong eager for a long-awaited challenge.

“We are all pretty keen for this game,'' Adam Heading said.

“We've had it pretty easy so far and we know we are coming up against some quality so it will be a good test.''

The Bluebags needed to take nine wickets on the final day of their match against Ginninderra, and did it comfortably before being forced to bat again, chasing a meagre sum of 13 runs.

The Queanbeyan openers did it with ease and consolidated the side's position at the top of the Cricket ACT ladder.

In the early exchanges of Saturday's match, Ginninderra worked hard to unsettle the home side, but Adam Heading took important wickets on his way to 10 for the match.

Despite a brief but damaging display from Ginninderra that included an over from Mark Higgs that yielded more than 20 runs, Adam's brother Mark was sent in to break the partnership.

The move paid off, with Mark registering two wickets in consecutive deliveries giving him a hattrick opportunity.

Despite the field closing in and intense pressure on the batsmen, Mark couldn't produce a memorable moment.

“I was sure we were going to get him [out],'' Mark's brother Adam said.

“If he'd pitched it up a bit we knew he was going to lunge forward and we'd be a chance, but unfortunately it dropped a bit short. I think [the batsman] was pretty nervous.''

But Queanbeyan's bowling had undone the dangerous partnership, and Adam was brought back into the attack to skittle the tailenders.

After taking five wickets, and his brother Mark taking two of his own, Adam said the game had always felt within Queanbeyan's control.

“We had the runs on the board so we were never really too concerned,'' he said.

“It was just a matter of bowling in the right spots and we knew the wickets would come.''

Adam said the significance of his brother's brief but effective spell was pivotal in making sure Queanbeyan weren't tested too harshly later in the afternoon.

“He only came on and bowled two overs but it was all we needed, he did what he needed to do,'' he said.

“It was an important wicket, the deck was flattening out a bit and it was making it a bit hard for myself being a medium pacer.''

Queanbeyan are clear on the top of the Cricket ACT first grade table.
