Scores from South Road – Round 8

The Tonners lodged a successful weekend prior to the Christmas break, heading into the 3 week hiatus with 4 wins out of a possible 5.

 

The 1^st XI successfully defended 205 away at Moorabbin, with spin twins Duncan McKenzie and Jack Moffitt combining for 7 wickets. Earlier both Navin Cooray and Ben Johns had contributed solidly with the bat, making 51 and 43 respectively.

 

The 2^nd XI was a short-lived match as opening bowlers Ben Sexton and Josh Gates reduced Moorabbin to 9/16 at one point. After eventually bowling the visitors out for 49, Sean Wilson made light work of the chase finishing with 25*.

 

The 3^rd and 4^th XI’s both played T20 fixtures away at Endeavour Hills. Matt Dutton and Connor Verney saw us post a solid total of 114 with the bat, which our bowlers were able to defend. Another good bowling performance in the 4ths from Cam McKenzie and Jack Seymour wasn’t quite enough to get us over the line, falling 5 runs short.
