CRICKET Ipswich officials were left to revise this weekend's first division draw after the annual Harding Madsen Shield competition was delayed.
The first round of intercity matches were scheduled for Saturday before the Toowoomba association were unable to confirm a start for the 2022-23 season.
That came as Northsiders (277) defeated Laidley (195), Lockyer Valley (254) beat Brothers (132) and competition leaders Centrals (6/290) accounted for Marburg-Mt Crosby Thunder (175) in the latest two-day first division games.
The Ipswich Hornets were unsuccessful in their Queensland Premier Grade run chase against Norths at Baxter Oval despite stylish opener Bryn Llewellyn scoring 149 – his second consecutive century.
Llewellyn hit 17 fours and a six in his fine innings, supported at the top by Levi Thomson-Matthews with 82.
The Hornets were bowled out for 336.

The Hornets Second Grade side secured a valuable thrilling win chasing Norths' target of 225.
The final pair of Tom Sippel (38 not out) and Jack Geldard (12) got their team home. Needing 21 to win, Sippel and Geldard put on 43.
Paul Nasser earlier topscored with 63.

Information from Ipswich cricket historian Wayne Jones.
Centrals' 3rd Grade game was a record-breaking effort. It was the highest score at the club with three centurions in the same innings.
Laidley 1st Grade and Strollers 3rd Grade have done it before.
Ipswich's record total by Blair of 8 dec 657 had four centurions in 1916.
In the latest game, Laidley responded with a 10 an over effort, meaning 700 runs were scored on the day.
Laidley are on the brink of missing finals in 1st Grade since 2017/18 (Centrals premiership winning year) with their latest loss.
