CRICKET: Two of the four Sunshine Coast division one clashes failed to start on Saturday as the wet weather took its toll and a surging Caboolture reaped the benefits, setting up outright points at home while its rivals compete for lessened reward next week. The top four meeting between Maroochydore Blue and Glasshouse was doomed when the chance of a late start was removed with a mid-morning shower, while overnight rain at Buderim had already washed out Gympie's visit to Maroochydore Red. ..>> view originalNoosa plans march in support of refugees
