STORMS SEND DOGS SEASON DOWN THE DRAIN

The St.Bernards OCCC 2009/10 season over after the freak storms that hit Melbourne over the weekend. With none of the 3 teams who made the finals finishing in the top 2 a win was the only way to advance to the grand final. The 2nd XI were able to face 21 overs on Saturday crumbling to 6/35 before rain stopped play. A total of 7 overs were bowled on day 1 in the thirds as Hoppers managed 0/21 off 7 overs, While the 4th XI bowled 20 overs at Greenvale before the biggest storm to ever hit St.Bernards stopped play for the rest of the weekend. The thrid XI were the only side able to get play underway on day 2, and got off to a good start before allowing the Hoppers middle order to get the total to 158. With fading light and storms on the way the thirds also crumbled to 7/64 before umpires called play off due to rain.
