Double wins for A’s, Woodsmen

Altona and Spotswood both banked two wins of the weekend as rain again played havoc in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association east-west.

Instead of having a two-day match on Saturday and Sunday, the fixture changed to two one-dayers after the previous round had been called off.

Despite heavy rain on Saturday, all matches got underway and there were results in all matches.

Spotswood headed out to Melton and was able to come away with a convincing win.

The Lions batted first and made 7-164 from their overs with Patrick McArdle and Jakson Knight taking two wickets each.

The Woodsmen got the runs with six overs remaining as they finished 3-167. Knight top scored with 78 not out.

Altona also came away with the win as it faced Yarraville.

The A’s batted first after being sent in and made 7-171 from their overs.

Ben Davies top scored with 54.

Nikhil Suresh and Samar Partap Singh took two wickets each for the Eagles.

The Eagles were then in trouble at 3-24 before putting on 50 for the fourth wicket.

Once that next wicket fell, they fell in quick succession with the Eagles bowled out for 110.

Kamal Singh and Tejas Hari top scored with 33 apiece.

Davies took three wickets for the A’s.

A tough season continued for Williamstown on Saturday as it lost to Werribee.

Werribee set Williamstown a big total having made 5-239.

Jarrod Flood Bauce took three wickets for the Seagulls.

Williamstown never seemed likely to chase down the runs, finishing 8-136.

George Pinkey top scored with 27.

More rain on Sunday, meant matches involving Yarraville and Williamstown didn’t go ahead.

It leaves the Eagles with one win for the season and the Seagulls win less.

Altona and Spotswood were both able to get out on the pitch and made the most of it as they continued their strong form.

The A’s got the job done against Box Hill.

Box Hill was restricted to 8-120 off 35 overs with Callum Hands taking 3-22 for the A’s.

The A’s were made to work hard in the run chase but did enough to finish 6-122.

Captain James Grubb top scored with 33.

Spotswood had a convincing win against Bayswater in their clash.

With 30 overs each to bat due to the rain, Bayswater made 8-139 after it batted first.

Dan Schuppan took 4-20 for the Woodsmen.

The Woodsmen made the runs with nearly 10 overs remaining, finishing 3-140.

Seamus Lynch top scored with 53.

Both the A’s and Spotswood have 4-1 records after five rounds, sitting second and third.
