Town has kept its unbeaten run alive in the Deniliquin District Cricket Association’s under 16 competition after punishing RSL/West by 56 runs on Saturday at Memorial Park.

Liam Pitts (15) and Todd Marshall (32 retired) got Town off to a good start while Jake Marshall (31 retired) and Harry Taylor (19 retired) kept the runs flowing.

RSL/West bowlers Tom Dowling (3-6) and Lachie MacDonald (2-27) were on fire, but Town still managed to knock up a strong 6/164.

Mick Barnett top scored for the young Cannons with 30 runs, and MacDonald (25) also had a good day with the bat.

Some hard hitting from Dowling (17 n.o) gave RSL/West a chance, but Todd Marshall (3-11) made it hard for the batsmen.

Zack Thompson and Liam ‘Rocket Arm’ Chaplin also bowled well to see RSL/West finish up 7/108.

Juniors v Mathoura

Playing on Memorial Park number one oval Mathoura batted first and knocked up a competitive 132.

Dylan Taylor (31 n.o) was the Cutters’ best with the bat with Ash Vesty (24) and Dan Gretgrix (14) chipping in.

Jake Mercer (4-21) bowled well for Juniors as did Jack Godfrey (2-25) and Owen Kew (1-15).

In reply, Juniors could only manage 78 with Steve Scott (18) and Mercer (14) doing most of the work.

Jack McAuliffe (2-5) and Gretgrix (2-14) were the best with the ball and it was the Cutters’ fielding that proved the difference in the game.

There is only one round remaining, to be played tomorrow, with the grand final and consolation finals to be played the following weekend.
