NO movement on the ladder this week in round 10 of the Dandenong and District Cricket Association Turf matches.
Springvale South, Doveton, Buckley Ridges and North Dandenong are all fighting it out for a fourth place finals position on 30 points.
@BT Sub Sport News:Doveton v Hallam Kalora Park
Doveton won the toss at Robinson Reserve and sent Hallam Kalora Park in to bat where they made a modest 147 from 65 overs. An lbw for Leigh Booth left Hallam 2/44 before captain Cory Booth (74) stepped in to move the team to 7/145.
The wickets fell quickly after Booth with Hawley and Piston falling within two runs. Doveton will begin with 0/25 this weekend after 15 overs with openers Bradley Downe and Ryan Pearson facing the Hallam Kalora Park attack.
@BT Sub Sport News:Coomoora v Mordialloc
Cellar-dwellers Coomoora will face a target of 239 next week, set by a big-hitting Mordialloc team in under 79 overs. Justin Woodman (3/24) did his best to keep the run count down and Ford proved he is a worthy addition to the team by taking three catches. Woodman and Bilal Zeitoune spent one over opening the bat for Coomoora before the end of play. Coomoora will pick up with 0/1 this weekend.
@BT Sub Sport News:Buckley Ridges v North Dandenong
North Dandenong will face a formidable target of 346 this weekend when they meet Buckley Ridges for a second day at Park Oval. A slow start saw Buckley Ridges reach 2/10 before Daniel Watson (111) stepped in to leave the team at a more respectable 4/207 before he was bowled by Shane Clark (1/44).
@BT Sub Sport News:Keysborough v Parkfield
Parkfield set a modest 151 from 71 overs at Keysborough reserve last weekend. With his side 3/18, Parkfield captain Dale Harris (31) did his best to get some runs on the board. In the field, Trent Ward and wicket-keeper Stephen Hennigan kept the pressure on taking two catches each. Keysborough’s start with the bat wasn’t much better, ending the day on 3/15 after nine overs after opener Jonathan Mohamed went out for a duck.
@BT Sub Sport News:Narre Warren v Berwick
The Magpies and the Bears will have to wait it out until next week before they can begin play on the Sweeney Reserve pitch. The wintry conditions that had groundskeepers running to protect their turfs played havoc at Sweeney Reserve and the match will have to be played as a one-dayer next week.
@BT Sub Sport News:St Mary’s v Springvale South
St Mary’s and Springvale South shared a similar fate to Narre Warren and Berwick when their match at Carroll Reserve was washed out due to wet conditions the night before.
