Not quite enough from Tocumwal's batsmen
In their final one-day premier grade game for the Murray Valley Cricket Association season, Tocumwal missed the points in an away contest against Katunga on Saturday.
After winning the toss, Tocumwal elected to bat.
Tocumwal had a good batting innings to finish with a competitive 175.
Rod Meloury scored a fine half century, finishing with 54, with G Poynton 23 and J Poynton 18 also among the runs.
Katunga was able to reach the Bloods’ score in the 38th over.
G Poynton led the bowling attack taking 2/30 off nine overs, while J Poynton and Meloury both took one wicket each.
In A reserve, Tocumwal fielded first against Waaia and what a display of bowling by captain Spencer Dines.
Dines was devastating taking 6/24 off eight overs.
Other good bowlers were G Rush, K Jarrett and T Poynton with one wicket each.
Waaia ended their batting innings with a score of 9/120.
Tocumwal was quietly confident of reaching this total, but with lots of batters unable to perform the Bloods were bowled out in the 17th over for 34.
Troy Poynton top scored with 10, while his co-youngster B Meloury was next top with seven and captain Dines (7).
Congratulations to Adam Waasdorp of Waaia for also taking six wickets.
Congratulations also to 12 year-old Jesse Barker who not only got an opportunity to play A reserve this week, but was able to play this game with his father Mark.
