Keilor kicked off its Victorian Turf Cricket Association T20 competition with a big win against Tullamarine on Tuesday night.

After being sent in, the Blues lost an early wicket which brought Lucas Elliott to the crease in the SImpson group.

The Blues set about getting the innings going and eventually finished 4-171.

Elliott top scored with 73 off 51 balls.

It was all single wicket takers for the Demons.

The Demons were in trouble at 4-17 and never recovered, restricted to 8-88 from their 20 overs.

Captain David Scott played a lone hand, finishing 35 not out.

Matthew Gaskett and Jarryd Clements took two wickets each for the Blues.

In the Morris group, Sunshine claimed the points against St Albans.

Danny Greer and Lihan Dulshan took two wickets each for the Saints.

The Saints never got close, making 7-123 from their overs.

Altamash Zaheer took four wickets for Sunshine.

The win means Sunshine has won both their pool games and will finish on top of the pool. St Albans will face St Andrews in the third match of the pool, but neither can finish top.

Sunshine United and the Druids were also in action on Wednesday night.

The Tigers, who lost their first match, saw their T20 campaign come to an end.
