Sharks and Cobras the only premier action

A Grade, Division 1

THE rain returned around the LDCA on the weekend and claimed its fair share of matches. Up to eleven games across the league’s five grades were left abandoned after they each saw less than 15 overs of play.

All these matches will turn into one day affairs and be played out this Saturday as the same fixture.

As for those 13 matches that did go ahead, play will resume this Saturday as normal.

Korumburra hosted the reigning premiers Phillip Island at the Korumburra Recreation Reserve where they managed to play 25 overs. 

The Sharks won the toss and chose to bat first and found the conclusion of play one wicket down with Heath Womersley (18* off 85) and Daniel Mock (24* off 30) at the crease. 

Lachlan Cleeland (18 off 35) was the one Island wicket to fall, at the hands of Hemal Rathnayake (1/9 from 3) who bowled exceptionally well before rain stopped play.

Toner finds time to  score at McMahon’s

FOSTER travelled to McMahon Reserve to face off with Wonthaggi and the two sides did well to play out just over 42 overs. 

The Tigers won the toss and chose to bat first and it looked as though it would be another ton for their superstar skipper Josh Toner (81 off 106) before he was cut short by Sean Roche (1/22 from 3.2).

Mitchell Jones (25* off 90) dug in and stuck around until the conclusion of play and will resume alongside Ben East (0* off 5), with their side 3/121. 

Heath Dobbie (1/24 from 17) will again lead the attack.

Smith gets busy for Bass

NERRENA hosted Kilcunda-Bass at the Nerrena Recreation Reserve which saw just over 22 overs of play for the day. 

The hosts won the toss and chose to bat first but found themselves 4/72 at play’s end, with Caine Salmon (31 off 43) top scoring on the day but didn’t see the end of play unbeaten. 

Instead, James Kelly (13* off 42) and Tyson Harris (0* off 7) kept their wickets as Todd Smith 93/38 from 11.2) loomed large with the ball.
