Legana back in hunt after Beauty Point stalls

From then on, Beauty Point was unable to form any further useful partnerships, losing wickets on average every 10 runs to be bowled out for 154 in the 40th over.

Jeremy Curtis (2-28) and John Anderson (0-27) bowled well early with Scott Hernyk (2-39) and Matthew Manshanden (4-24) doing the damage towards the end of the innings.

Legana lost the early wickets of Scott Alexander and Jamie McClenaghan but recovered when Nathan Faulkner (78no) batted through the innings with help from Ben Austin (30) to have Legana reach the required total in 29 overs for the loss of six wickets.

Jason Savage returned to his best bowling, taking 4-24 in a lone performance.

ACL won by six wickets at Brooks, serving up Trevallyn's third consecutive loss after Trevallyn batted and posted 166 from its 40 overs.

Collin Burns (39), Andrew Blackberry (41) and Phil Gregory (53) all made useful contributions among a scorecard that otherwise contained single figures.

Danny O'Neill took 4-21 in his two spells and was the best bowler for ACL with Stuart Millwood (2-24) and Ted Davis (2-50) also successful.

In the second innings, Andy Belsak cut loose with 65 runs from ACL's 95 in 16 overs before being caught and bowled by Andrew Blackberry.

Scott Bennett (42) and Stephen Howard (25no) saw ACL safely to the winning total in 29 overs.

Damien Bailey was the best of Trevallyn's bowlers with 2-32.

Bridport continued its winning streak, defeating Rocherlea by 56 runs at Bridport.

Bridport was sent in by Rocherlea and struggled to 9-147 after openers Troy Milne (25) and John Dusuatoy (19) had got them off to a fair start.

However, five wickets fell for 14 runs and Bridport was 5-47, then 6-61 at the 20-over mark.

A late order recovery by Josh Illingworth (27) and Matty Lang (24) enabled a ninth-wicket partnership of 52 to ease the pressure.

For Rocherlea, Scott Belbin took 2-25 and Moore 2-22 with several run outs.

Rocherlea was in the hunt at 2-52 with openers Nick Ferrell (31) and Matt McLean (21) before their wheels fell off, losing the next five wickets for six runs.

Shane Collier (4-8 from 8), Darren Price (2-16 from 8) and Matty Lang (2-24) robbed Rocherlea of any chance of attaining the 148 runs needed. Rocherlea was bowled out for 91 in 29 overs.

Uni-Mowbray further dented Beaconsfield's finals aspirations with a 27-run win at Uni.

Uni-Mowbray reached 3-62 at drinks with Rod Dance (28) scoring most of the runs.

Nathan Balym (28) and Jeremy Fraser (43) boosted the total to 6-132 with late runs from Damien Martin (11no) and Matthew Wells (14no) taking the score to 7-158.

Scott Hammersley and Peter McKay each took two wickets for Beaconsfield.

Clinton Laskey made 24 out of 2-36 for Beaconsfield with the only other score of note being from Brett Martin (31) batting at number seven.

Beaconsfield was kept under a tight rein by the Uni-Mowbray bowlers and was bowled out in the 38th over for 131.

Matthew Wells (2-21), Jeremy Fraser (2-23), Dion Beams (2-37) and Darren Knight (2-4) won the day.
