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.

1st XI SECURE HOME FINAL IN ROUND 11 UPSET
The first XI have beaten undefeated South Caulfield and have secured a home final in the process. Winning the toss and batting first the dogs got off to the worst possible start with opener Gary McIntyre being dismissed first ball of the match and was soon followed by Nathan Hawkes(0)before Chris Spinella(12) and Anthony Jordan(26) managed the games highest partnership of 35 until Spinella fell. Skipper Craig Osborne was the steadier of the ship for the second week running, top scoring with 45 and being the only shinning light for the dogs as the middle order and tail were dismissed with little trouble - leaving the dogs all out for 105.
Early wickets would be the key for the dogs if they were any chance of victory, and cementing their spot in the 4. Chris Davis(4/33) and Scott Driscoll(3/23) ripped through the South Caulfield line-up combining for 7 of the top 8 wickets to have the visitors in all sorts of trouble at 8/60 which included 3 wickets with the score on 47. The match was finished off with a one of the 3 run outs for the day as the dogs secured a home final and set up Super Snowdogs Semi-Final Weekend at St.Bernards this weekend.
The 2nd XI traveled to South Caulfied in an attempt to finish the season on the right note. just like the 1st XI they batted first and got off to a terrible start losing two wickets for 1 run before Sinclair Johansen(21) and Greg Garth (83) put on a match winning 110 run partnership to help the dogs amass 8/192 off their 40 overs, recently married Ivan Jurcic(39) also chipped in, as did John Hellard(27). The St.Bernards bowlers were able to build pressure throughout the innings, taking wickets at regular intervals eventually bowling South Caulfield out for 79 from just 34 overs. Ged McMahon the best of the bowlers taking 5-29 from his 16, well supported by Greg Garth who capped off a brilliant day with the bat with the astounding figures of 4-11 off 4.3.
The Third XI were looking to do the same as the 2nd XI - finish off the year on a good note as they traveled to Yarraville Club. Losing the toss and be asked to bowl the opening pair of Tristan Kassis and James Riley bowled exceptional open spells for no luck - restricting the hosts to 0/26 at drinks (18overs) Captain Kevin O'Connell was the benifactor of the openers good tight bowling early picking up 4/23 from his 7 as they restricted Yarraville Club to 8/81 on a very slow out field. The run chase got off to a reasonable start with the dogs being 1/35 before they lost 4/10. Ina good sign for the future of the club Dan O'Connell(10) and Matthew Bergin(11) steadied the ship with a patient partnership which frustrated the opposition. Michael Ramsay came in at 6/58 and carried the side home to record their 6th win for the season in the 2nd last over.
The 4th XI needed a win to secure home ground throughout the finals as the hosted Doutta Stars. Bowling first were able to restrict the visitors to 6/112 with veteran Greg Cook taking 4/13 from his 9 overs. The target never seemed in doubt as the dogs passed them 6 down. Tom Chrystie(38) and Captain John Jordan(28) were the best of the bats.
