Footscray United wins thriller

Footscray United pulled off an unlikely win in a low scoring affair in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association T20 competition.

The Bulldogs were bowled out for just 63 in the 16th over against Westmeadows.

Isaac Heater top scored with 17 at number 10.

The Warriors, who came off their highest score on the weekend, couldn’t keep the momentum going, bowled out for just 62.

Heater finished with 5-12 off his four overs to be the star of the show.

Also in group A3, the Druids lost to Oak Park St Francis de Sales in their round three match.

The Saints made 8-168 from their overs, with the Wizards bowled out in the final over for 117.

Sonara Pilippuhewa played a lone hand for the Wizards with 60.

In group A2 Altona North got the win against Newport-Digman.

Reigning champions Altona North made 5-186 with Dylan Achison (70) and Haydn Wilkinson (64) at the top of the order doing all the damage.

The Bulls never looked likely to chase down the runs, finishing 9-115.

In group A4, Seddon had a big win against Maribyrnong Park St Marys.

The Dockers made 4-134 with opener Jacob Slator top scoring with 75 not out.

The Lions were restricted to 8-87.

Williamstown Imperials’ good form with the bat continued as they accounted for Yarraville Club.

The Imperials made 3-202, their second score of more than 200 in the tournament.

Despite some early hitting from Trent Lawford, the Clubbers fell short as they were restricted to 8-140.

In group B2, Bellbridge proved too strong for St Andrew’s Footscray, Burnside Springs United piled on the runs against West Newport and Barkly St Uniting got home against Werribee Centrals.

In group B3, Laverton was on the winners list as it beat Point Cook Centrals and Kingsville beat Wyndham Vale.”
