VSDCA: Plenty Valley still unbeaten on top

03/02/2014

By Star Weekly

Plenty Valley remains unbeaten atop the North/South First XI table after another comfortable win at the weekend.

After making 226 on day one, the Bats rolled Coburg for 118, with evergreen Sean Ayres picking up 3-23.

He now has 25 wickets for the season at 10.8, along with 619 runs at 68.8 with the bat.

Andrew Bennett cleaned up the tail with 2-14, while Ben Dennett and Lorenzo Ingram picked up two apiece.

Plenty Valley is away to Kew this weekend.

Plenty Valley’s second XI trudged back to the clubroom’s with heads bowed after a loss against to Coburg, their first of the season.

The Bats posted 249 on day one, led by Simon Bray’s 95, but could take only four wickets as Coburg romped to victory.

Half-centuries to skipper Bruce Wallace (66), Jacob Austin (69) and Grant Puxley (55 not out) helped the Burgers over the line.
