Round 6

First Grade

With the top five teams beating the bottom five, a gap has opened in the fight for a Finals position. Clifton Hill in fifth place on 21 points is now nine points clear of four teams on 12 points.

Banksia 250 (Damian Gray 102, L McConville 6/67) def Edinburgh 225 (Nielson 57, Simpson 26, D Gray 4/42, M Best 3/49)

Gung ho batting by Edinburgh. Tried to hit the ball out of the park too often and paid the penalty. They lost the match rather than Banksia winning.

Greensborough 9/259cc (Francese 90no, Butterworth 53) lost to Heidelberg 5/286 (R Gardner 84, T James 80, C Hall 3/36)

League leaders far too strong losing only 5 wickets to reel in a good score from Borough.

Banyule 9/219cc (G Anderson 45, A Parry 43, J Wilson 36, L Anderson 3/63, K Shaw 3/69) def Rosanna 203 (B Joyce 42, A Duncan 39, L Anderson 32, P Barnes 4/36, D Butterworth 3/55)

Close encounter, with Rosanna having chances but failed to get the points. Three batsman got good starts but none were able to go on and obtain a big score.

Macleod 4/150 dec (T Wise 40, S Waddingham 80) def Yarra Valley 144 (S Duchworth 5/26, P Smith 4/42) and 8/139 (P Duckworth 3/60)

Easy first innings points to Macleod, however the outright eluded them.

Bellfield 157 (M McKeown 43, B Owens 31, M Sheedy 4/33) lost to Clifton Hill 9/218cc (S Cotter 65, B Sheedy 46, J Borg 36, M McKeown 5/53(14), G Brandt 2/15(10))

Good win to the Hills.
