AN Ocean Grove side keen to build on winning the last game of 09 will do well to keep a grip on their fixture with Barrabool after a laboured innings on Saturday.
With the first two batsmen dismissed for 10 between them it was left to Corey Bampfield (36) and Adam Spiby (28) to rescue this game. The scores now rest at the Bulls with 1 for 22 chasing Grubbers 124 total.
The Bs on the other hand were on fire. Peter Hart smashed 60 as they cruised to 320 for nine on their first day. Other notable scores came from John Breen (39), Troy Wiseman (39), Nathan Ervin (38) and Marcus Wirth (36).
C grade fell to Barrabool 170 to 176, despite a healthy 61 from Craig D’Arcy.
The D1s defeated Anglesea 155/5 to 127/9, with Shaun Fankhauser’s 29 helping them there but the D2s succumbed to Wallington 117 to 112. John Bjornenak hit 42 for Grubbers in that tie at the Wallabies.
SUCCESS for ladder leading Collendina As will now rest on their bowling firepower and fielding skills if they are to counter a determined Coutas outfit. A mid order collapse on the first day of their encountter spoiled what promised to be a good day. Captain Kade Norquay was back and ramped up a solid 30 while Ewan Handley (28) held in there for the longest innings. Queenscliff are chasing 139 and are so far on 38 for 1.
In other grades, Collendina B is chasing Queenscliff’s 187 amd are so far at 80 for none, the Cs have defeated the same side with a hefty 259 for 7 to 207 all out, thanks to a tidy 82 from Eddie Ellwood and 36 each from Ben Evans and Brett Pearson (n/o).
The D1s also earnt a victory away at Barrabool, 203 for 7 to 132 all out. Mark Fletcher hit 57 for this one.
The D2s weren’t so fortunate falling to a Newcomb side 310 to 146, depsite the best efforts of Matthew Stammers on 48.
