Bulls’ over the hill

By JARROD POTTER

NOBLE Park claimed its second win of the VSDCA season, knocking off Box Hill’s 7/151 to attain 6/155 with four overs to spare.
The heavy lifting with the ball came from Rizan Mawzoon – who took three wickets for 32 – and Mevan Fernando (2/23) also picked up a pair.
In response, Fernando (62no) and Marasinghe Perera (37) were the strong-arm force pushing the batting along after captain Dean Edmunds (0) was out for a duck. The last flourish of runs can from Mawzoon (11no) to cap off the stellar afternoon.
Noble Park gave Jake Bradshaw his First-XI debut.
The Bulls move up to sixth on the VSDCA East/West First XI ladder and face Altona at home this round in a two-dayer.
The Bulls’ cross-town rivals Endeavour Hills were bested by Mount Waverley – with the Eagles only accruing 121 from their innings. Mount Waverley barely held on to win with 9/122 on the board as Matt Hutchinson (3/23) and Richard Saniga (2/11) were the best of the Eagles’ bowling contingent.
