Seabrook didn’t have the answers for Sunshine YCW in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association Russell Pollock Shield grand final on the weekend.
After knocking out the top two teams last week, Seabrook was the home team against the Cougars, who sealed their finals spot late in the season.
The Cougars batted on day and were able to make 191, bowled out in the second last over of the day.
The Cougars had a lot of contributors on day one without anyone going on to make a big score.
Amitoj Kang top scored with 40 as six players scored between 19 and 40 to push the total towards 200.
Amila Mendia took 5-38 for Seabrook.
Seabrook had to face an over at the end of day one and were able to survive and started day two at 0-1.
Seabrook started day two well and was seemingly on top at 0-40.
The wickets then started to fall, with the side going from 0-40 to 8-89 as the game turned in the favour of the Cougars.
The lower order showed some resistance but the damage had been done, with Seabrook bowled out of 123 in the 50th over.
Casey McNaught top scored with 42 at the top of the order, with six single figure scores in Seabrook’s innings.
Dylan Payne took 4-21 and Heshan Umendrea and Matthew Williams three wickets each.
It’s not all bad news for Seabrook, with both grand finalists earning promotion into the Clark-Evans Shield next season.
