4TH XI STORM INTO GRAND FINAL

The 4th XI have secured a grand final berth with a dominating performance over local rivals - Doutta Stars at St.Bernards. Bowling first, the hosts capitalized bowling doutta out for 106, with John Jordan leading the way with 3/26 off 16. The hosts made light work of the target, chasing it down early on day two for the loss of 2 wickets. Brendan Davey (34) Matthew Bergin (38) John Jordan (39) and Tom Chrystie (57*) were all pivotal in the run chase. They will face local rivals Airport West St.Christopher's this week in the Grand Final.
Sadly for the 1st XI, they were defeated by Bentleigh and knocked out of the finals. It was however a very successful season for the 1st XI who were able to sneak into the top 2 and secure a home final.
