THE Gippsland Goannas Over-60 Cricket team travelled to Iona on Sunday for the round nine clash with the Iona/Koo Wee Rup Over-60’s.
Winning the toss, the Combine batted first, making 102 for the loss of six wickets from their 40 overs.

Ian Gibson had two catches and Penrose a run out.
The Goannas replied, passing the score in the 18th over.
Ray Floyd was stumped for 22, Graeme Ingle, 23, and Graeme Rankin, 34, both retired from their 25 balls, while Smith 15 and Rajasingham six were the not out batsmen.
