VSDCA: Craig Sheedy leads way for Williamstown

Veteran all-rounder Craig Sheedy has started the season on fire for Williamstown.

Sheedy backed up his 70 in round one with 99 not out on Saturday to give the Seagulls a fighting chance against reigning premier Melton at MacPherson Park.

The Seagulls produced a competitive 7-207 from their 80 overs.

The second day’s play will be on Saturday.

Altona faces a massive run chase against Werribee on the road at Chirnside Park.

The A’s had the home side in a spot of bother at 4-64, but a top-shelf knock of 122 not out by Tim O’Brien changed the complexion of the game.

Yarraville was bowled out for 209 on its visit to Endeavour Hills, which is 0-11 in return.

 

Experienced middle order batsmen Adam Yates and Tim McRae made 60 apiece for the Eagles.
