Druids, Storm and Jaguars through to the next round

Jacana, the Druids and Sydenham-Hillside were among the teams to seal spots in the next round of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association T20 competition.

With the pool round games continuing, due to washouts before Christmas, there was plenty of action on Tuesday night.

Jacana, which is in division 5, beat Glenroy in an upset in the Waugh group.

Jacana made 7-131 from its overs, with Damien Petrucciani top scoring with 42.

Glenroy was bowled out for 113 with two balls remaining

Kasun Mahela took 3-6 off 2.4 overs.

The win was Jacana’s second and sealed top spot in their pool.

The Druids claimed top spot in the Taylor group with victory against Footscray United. Both teams had earlier beaten Sunshine United.

The Bulldogs made 8-102 from their 20 overs with Daniel Melican top scoring with 26.

The Druids shared the wickets around with three players taking two wickets each.

The Druids got off to flier, before losing three quick wickets.

It mattered little as the Druids hit the winning runs with more than six overs to spare. Lahiru Kumara took 4-10 for the Bulldogs.

Sydenham Hillside got one over local rival Caroline Springs and sealed its finals spot in the Smith group.

The Storm made 5-152 from its overs with Dylan Knight top scoring with 68.

It was all single wicket takers for the Falcons

The Falcons started off well and were 1-86. As they upped the run rate, the wickets fell as they were restricted to 7-133.

Roshan Laksiri top scored with 43.

In the Paine group, Grand United opened its account against Seddon. With both matches set to be played this week, it’s a busy few days for the Gorillas.

Seddon decided to bat after winning the toss and managed to put on 90 for the first wicket partnership.

A few late wickets halted its run, with Seddon finishing 4-129 with Liam Braithwaite scoring 55 at the top of the order.

Sachintha Silva took two wickets for the Gorillas.

The Gorillas found themselves at 4-52, but the middle order got the job done, finishing 4-130. Nilan Fernando made 55 off 32 balls.

Keilor kept its finals hopes alive in the Simpson group, beating Tullamarine.

The Blues made 4-171, with Lucas Elliott top scoring with 73

All single wicket takers for the Demons

The Demons started slowly and were in trouble at 4-17. The innings never really got going as they were restricted to 8-88, with David Scott finishing 35 not out.

The Blues are now equal on points with West Coburg, which still has to face Tullamarine.

In the Hassett group, Roxburgh Park beat the Greenvale Kangaroos.

The Kangaroos made 7-123 with Obaid Ur Rehman top scoring with 26. The wickets were shared around

The Falcons made the runs with three balls remaining. They finished 6-126. Azadveer Singh top scored with 37.

Meet Thakkar took four wickets for the Kangaroos

Despite the win, the Falcons finals hopes are over. Haig Fawkner, which has won its only game, has a significantly better run rate, with a game to come against the Kangaroos.

In the Morris group, St Albans got a consolidation win against St Andrews.

St Andrews made 8-117 with Kenneth Pennyfeather top scoring with 49.

Josh Morton and Mitchell Pittaway took three wickets each.

St Albans 7-118 in reply with three balls remaining Sammika Perera with 42 at the top of the order.

Thomas Stoneham took three wickets.

Sunshine had already won through to the next round in that group.
