Oval one is back after a successful renovation of the wicket table, one positive after a poor round 3 for the Snowdogs with all four teams failing to bring home the chocolates.
The First XI playing at home for the 2nd match in a row failed to chase down 287 for victory after they at one stage had the visiting Airport West side 6/90. Romain Grenville (78), Craig Osborne(26), Tristan Kassis(26), Jordan Mills(33) and Chris Spinella(44) all got a start in the Snowdogs chase, but it wasn't enough as they fell 27 runs short.
The Sinclair Johansen led 2nd XI travelled around the corner to Airport West for their local grudge match and were only able to get 120runs on the board on day one with Matt Bergin(42) and Ivan Jurcic(26) the only batsmen to get a start. The hosts were able to chase down the small target with little trouble, although they did lose 3/4 in the middle of the innings. Special mention must go to Alex Turner for his 7/43 off 28 overs - A fantastic effort.
The Third XI had a match to forget against Taylors Lakes at Albion being bowled out for 81 on day one. The hosts then amassed 9/201dec before giving the Snowdogs a major scare taking 5/36 off 34 overs.
The 4th XI hosted the RMIT first team in a one day match at St.Bernards on the Hilbert Oval at St.Bernards and batting first were bowled out for 83 which was chased down with ease by RMIT on their way to 7/157 at stumps.
A disappointing round of cricket for the Snowdogs, the challenge now is to bounce back from four losses. Some key in's for the 1st XI should see stronger XI's filter
