Lalor Warriors’ hopes of returning to North Metro Cricket Association’s Jika Shield top four rests on a really good batting performance this Saturday.
After being top of the ladder heading into Christmas, the Warriors have struggled, losing three of their last four games, and slipping outside the top four.
On Saturday, they had to watch on as Holy Trinity made 4-368 off its overs.
Julian Turner (109 not out), Matthew O’Brien (102) and Brad Wright (84) did the damage.
In other matches, ladder-leaders Rivergum made 211 against North Brunswick/Rosebank.
Keon Park’s late season turnaround continued, and the side’s on track for a second straight win, this time against Northern Socials.
Keon Park bowled Northern Socials out for 151 with Ryan Docherty taking 4-47. In reply Keon Park was 2-85 at stumps.
Docherty will resume on 38 while WHL Denuwan Fernando will resume on 37 (he also took three wickets).
In the other match, Olympic Colts made 216 against Northcote United.
In the Quick Shield, Bundoora Park has started well in its chase of Preston YCW District’s 222.
Bundoora Park will resume at 1-51. Preston Baseballers, Heidelberg and Cobras all have the upper hand heading into day two of their matches.
