SHERRIFF PULLS RANK AGAINST MAGPIES

 

The Basin’s Jake Sherriff ran rampant against Belgrave in a restrictive bowling display against the Magpies.

 

Sherriff claimed 7/29 from 13.3 overs to help keep Belgrave to 109 at Belgrave Reserve, not allowing the home side to impact the scoreboard with the willow. Not to be outdone with skilful bowling performances, the Magpies hit back to have The Basin 5/62 at stumps.

 

Steve Devenish was as hot as the Melbourne weather with the willow against Knox Gardens. Devenish scored a classy 144, assisted too by David Devenish with 47, to help the Sharks post 9/289. For the Falcons, Adam Wild proved pick of the bowlers with 3/67.

 

Upwey have already claimed first innings points against Mountain Gate. Cameron Wheeler was at his best against his former club, taking 6/22 to hold the Gators to 61. The Tigers surpassed the total with ease, declaring at 4/105 with Steve Moore scoring 33. The Gators reached stumps in their second dig at 2/25.

 

Upper Ferntree Gully held Knoxfield to it’s lowest score of the season, with the Knights dismissed for 114. Jarryd Roleff claimed 4/17 against the Premiers, with Aaron West claiming 3/9. In reply, the Kings are 1/25.

 

Eildon Park toiled hard all day against Ferntree Gully, posting 193 against the Blues. Jake Pollard lead the charge for the Panthers with 58, whilst with the ball Patrick Mastertoun (4/28) and Tim Parker (3/46) were rewarded for their efforts in a match which may still go either way.

 

In DeCoite Shield, Nick Bogar’s dream season continued against Knoxfield, with the President posting an unbeaten 141* for FTG Footballers. The Griffens ended their innings at 3/322, Bogar’s innings supported by Radhik Gooneratne’s 85 and Matt Hepburn’s 34. In a brief stint before close, Knoxfield were asked to start their innings and reached 2/39 by day’s end.

 

South Belgrave were also on the front foot in their match against Olinda, with a Day-One Declaration possible thanks to a quick century from the evergreen Darren Ray. Ray posted 119, with Jordan McDermott (68) and Alex Bakens (44) complementing South’s innings. A spell at Olinda before stumps reaped the desired results, with Olinda 4/33 at close.

 

Lysterfield made 180 against Monbulk, with several starts for the Beavers. Anthony Brolic (43), Adam Kinniburgh (38) and Ryan Hicks (33) got on the board for starts, whilst with the ball Brodie Emmett (4/16) and Jason Fraser (3/26) claimed rewards for the Hawks to keep the match well balanced.

 

Rowville spent most of the day at the crease in their matchup against St Johns Tecoma. The Hawks posted 170 over the day, before the Saints hit 1/15 before the end of day’s play.
