Devonport moved within striking distance of the top two with an eight-wicket win in their rescheduled One-Day match against Wynyard.

The Mountaineers resumed at 0/40 in reply to Ulverstone’s 113.  

The aggressive Zaid Chaudhary was subbed out for Day 2, with Brodie Deverell taking his place.  

Deverell (16) performed admirably, combining with Jordan Marshall (39) to put on 39 runs for the second wicket.  

A good spell from Jacob Wiggers (4-14) rocked Sheffield’s middle order, but they did enough to claim first innings points.  

An impressive 27 from Nik Hizartzidis provided the Mountaineers with a handy lead before their first innings wrapped up for 162.

Ulverstone was forced to grind in its second innings, finishing the day at 4/98 from 62 overs.  

Callum Wheeler (35 not out from 171 balls) and Jacob Snare (24 not out from 78 balls) spent some valuable time in the middle but found the miserly Aiden Marshall (1-17 from 18 overs) hard to get away.

Devonport was left ruing what might have been after they scored a comfortable first innings win over Wynyard.  

With Day 1 abandoned due to wet weather, the Orions’ points-scoring options were limited after the Blues won the toss and batted first.  

While the Blues are enduring a difficult season, they showed some fight, recovering from a precarious 8/96 to post 9/154 from their 50 overs.  

Lower order batsmen Andrew Davidson (25) and Adam Daniel (25 not out) combined for a 53-run ninth wicket partnership to give Wynyard something to defend.  

Spinners Matthew Bennett, Anish Paraam and Eli Sheean were the pick of the Devonport bowlers with two wickets apiece.

Devonport made short work of the Blues’ target, racing to 2/156 from 35.4 overs.  

Tyler Dell (35) got the Orions off to a fast start, before Anish Paraam (46 not out) and Cody Brown (50 not out) shared in an unbeaten 102-run partnership to secure victory.

The Burnie Hurricanes had to settle for a big first innings win over Latrobe at West Park.  

Chasing 387 to claim first innings points, the Demons fell for 143, with a half-century to Callan Morse (56) and a fighting 31 from Josh Smith the highlights.  

Kurt Lamprey (3-24) got the home side off to a good start, while Zach Walker knocked over the tail with 4-2 from two overs.

The Hurricanes enforced the follow on, but the Demons held firm, batting out the day to finish 5/121.  

Opener Joel Salter finished with a dogged 42 not out from 148 balls, while Brandon King (33) also spent valuable time at the crease.  

Jeremy Plant picked up his maiden First Grade wicket, finishing with 2/12.
