Pascoe Vale Central gave Clarkefield Brumbies a merciless welcome to the George Luscombe Shield with a 107-run hiding on Saturday.
Scott McKay (4-14) and Darren Barker (3-13) were among the wickets as PVC rolled Clarkefield for just 81 in reply to 5-188. A century stand to open Pascoe Vale’s innings built its total.
Openers Cam Hare, on the comeback after his Essendon District football season with Tullamarine was curtailed by injury, made 62 while Brett Barron made 64.
In Keith Stringer Shield, Westmeadows (4-136) comfortably beat Northern Lions (83), while Craigieburn (9-237) thrashed Gowanbrae (110) and Oak Park (7-159) beat Flemington Colts (154).
