Williamstown will be hoping to make the most of its second chance in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association east-west finals.
The Seagulls put out a disappointing performance against Mt Waverley on the weekend, comprehensively beaten after a poor second day of play.
But as the highest placed loser, the Seagulls survive to face another day and will now play Spotswood in the semi finals.
The Seagulls’ performance against Mt Waverley with the bat wasn’t what they had expected.
Mt Waverley had made 182 on day one, bowled out in the 75th over.
Mt Waverley were able to get some small partnerships throughout the innings, but no pair was able to go really big.
Michael Sheedy top scored with 48.
Sean Sturrock was the pick of the bowlers for the Seagulls, taking four wickets.
The Seagulls innings didn’t start well losing Fraser Hay and Matthew Dervan before stumps on day one, finishing the day at 2-18.
Day two started better for the Seagulls, who took the score to 2-54. Two quick wickets put the Seagulls back.
Another partnership, this time between James Cook and Jarrod Flood-Bauce pushed the score past 100.
Once Flood-Bauce fell the last four wickets for 10 runs to be all out for 117.
Cook top scored with 35, and Flood-Bauce made 25, but there wasn’t much else to write home about.
Spotswood enters the match on the back of a big win against Endeavour Hills in the first week of finals. Williamstown though has had the wood over the Woodsmen since they joined the competition.
Werribee will play Mt Waverley in the other semi final.
