Kookas flying start

Rivergum made a blistering start to its Northern Region T20 campaign on Tuesday night.

After a bye in the first round, the Kookas had no issues in accounting for a young Lalor Stars side.

The Stars struggled and ultimately finished their 20 overs with 8-114 on the board.

Patrick Taylor top scored with 33. The Kookas shared the wickets with no one taking more than two.

The Kookas wasted no time getting the runs, finishing 1-118 off 11.2 overs. Harish Ravichandran top scored with 55 not out off 29 balls.

Rivergum will face Epping in the third pool game with the winner going through to finals. Epping had a bye on Tuesday night.

Bundoora made it two in a row with a solid win against the Keon Park Footballers.

The Footballers made 3-137 with Jake McSwain making 109 not out at the top of the order.

The Bulls had contributions throughout their order, finishing 3-138 in 16.5 overs.

The Bulls sit atop their pool after two rounds.

Bundoora Park opened its account with a win against Greensborough.

The Thunderbolts made 6-167 from their overs with Kristian Doddato top scoring with 46.

Bundoora United again piled on the runs, this time in a big win against Holy Trinity.

Joel Thompson continued his good form with an unbeaten 112 as the Bulldogs made 4-194.

Holy Trinity made 8-153. Lee Solar took four wickets for the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs sit atop of their pool after two rounds as the only undefeated team.

Mernda claimed the win without a ball being bowled, with Strathewen forfeiting their match.

Mernda will finish on top of its pool no matter the results in the final pool round. The Demons have a bye in the third round.

Other winners included Riverside, Plenty, Rosanna, Old Ivanhoe Grammarians and Montmorency were the other winners.
