Kilcunda-Bass’ opening partnership of Joel Huckett and Gregory Miller made short work of the situation, winning the game with 24 and 70 runs respectively.

C2 Forfeits
KORUMBURRA, MDU, Koonwarra/LRSL and Inverloch forfeited their matches in C2 against Nyora, Glen Alvie, OMK and Phillip Island respectively due to numbers. 

Numbers have become an issue across the board and a league meeting will likely take place this week to discuss how C2 will proceed moving forward.
