Stingrays strangle Sharks on the road
Howzat? This was the hattrick ball survived by Callan Reilly off the bowling of Inverloch’s Wayne Chapman at Bass on Saturday but certainly worth a second look.

C Grade

INVERLOCH has finally got their season underway and have done so in style, defending 146 on the road against Kilcunda-Bass. 

The Stingrays were superb with the ball and in the field right from the outset, making it extremely hard for the hometown Sharks to score. 

Matt Marston (2/56 from 29) and Wayne Chapman (4/27 from 22) punched in monster shifts, bowling 29 and 22 consecutive overs respectively as their side tightened the screws and didn’t let go. 

Up they go, appealing vociferously on the hattrick ball bowled by Inverloch’s Wayne Chapman to Callan Reilly.
Kilcunda-Bass’s Darcy Clay kept his head while wickets were falling around him and went on to make stoic half century against a well-resourced Inverloch attack in C Grade at Bass on Saturday.

Cameron Butler (3/14 from 6) then cleaned up the tail to seal the 24-run win for the visitors, despite an outstanding innings from Killy’ Bass number three Darcy Clay (56). 

Sharks complete the win away from home 
LEONGATHA welcomed Phillip Island back to Scorpion Park 2 as the Sharks looked to continue their chase of the 205-runs required for victory. 

In the end, chase the 205-runs they did, behind two brilliant half centuries from John Manning (59 off 49) and Steven Niven (51*) to win by five wickets.
