The tough run continued for Tullamarine in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association Steve McNamara Shield on Saturday.

The Demons headed out to Clarke Oval to face Sunbury for a two-day clash without a win on the board.

Tullamarine won the toss and elected to bat before being bowled out in the 62nd over for just 92.

Dave Manktelow top scored with 35 as just two players reached double figures.

Jason McGann, Brad Hunter and Ashan Ranaweera took three wickets each for the Roar.

The Roar, which has had its own struggles with the bat, lost a couple of wickets late and will resume at 2-30.

Meanwhile, Greenvale Kangaroos need to make 248 for victory against Williamstown CYMS.

In the senior division, Westmeadows had another solid day with the bat, while Craigieburn is in trouble.

The Warriors, who were coming off their first win of the season, was bowled out for 225 against St Albans.

The Warriors were tracking along well before a batting collapse, with none of their bottom seven batters making double figures.

The Saints will resume at 0-27.

Craigieburn was bowled out for 166 against Airport West St Christophers.

Jack Philpott top scored with 49.

Airport West got off to a great start in the run chase and will resume at 1-118.

Elsewhere, Roxburgh Park was bowled out for 180 against Werribee Centrals in the Evans-Clark Shield.

The Centurions will resume at 2-37.

In the Russell Pollock Shield, Burnside Springs United is 1-1 in reply to Jacana’s 172.
