1ST XI CLAIM DRAMATIC ROUND 3 VICTORY

The 1st XI claimed a dramatic round 3 victory to make their season tally 2 wins from as many starts. Batting first making a less than impressive 9/120(cc) at Spotswood on a lush outfield the dogs were always going to be up against it. If the low total wasn't enough Spotswood jumped away to a good start to be 1/80 after drinks before a collapse and some tight bowling restricted them to 8/115 from their 40 overs. Captain Craig Osborne claimed 4/7 in a victory that is being spoken about as one of the greatest wins by the 1st XI in many year (minus the GF win 2 seasons ago).
The 2nd XI held Spotswood to 6/141 which proved too much to chase down, being bowled out for 127, while the 3rd XI narrowly lost to North C1 power house Hoppers Crossing with 8 balls to spare after posting a very competitive total of 5/172.  The 4th XI fell 50 runs short in their match against Aberfelie Park
