Wandin 1st XI vs North Ringwood 3rd XI at North Ringwood – written by David Thorne
Wandin would lose the toss with North Ringwood choosing to bat.
Wandin’s Jarrod Dobson and Mitchell Kogelman would open the bowling and they would bowl well with Mitchell Kogelman picking up the first wicket in his third over and closely followed by a nice run out from Leigh Curwood.
It was tough bowling from then on with wickets hard to come by with North Ringwood batting well.
At the main break, North Ringwood would be 2/89 but after that, they would put the foot down with the bat and started to score more rapidly and it wasn’t until the last 20 overs that Wandin would get a few more wickets, which were shared around between most bowlers.
The final score after 80 overs was 9/252.
Jarrod Dobson 2/28 off 16 overs
Mitchell Kogelman 2/46 off 21 overs
Leigh Curwood 1/49 off 14 overs
Lachlan Alderman 0/49 off 12 overs
Joel Galvin 0/18 off 5 overs
Rory Vallance 3/54 off 11 overs
Tim Thorne 0/0 off 1 over.
Wandin batters will need to bat well next week to chase down North Ringwood’s score on a big and slow ground.
Wandin 2nd XI v Kilsyth 3rd XI – written by Rick Painter
With all the one-day games now complete, Round Tweeve would start with Wandin winning the toss and electing to bat first in perfect conditions. The opening pair of B Edwards and R Painter would battle through some tight bowling and build a hundred-run opening partnership before the fall of Painter (40) which would see Wandin in a strong position at tea, just two wickets down and 120 on the board. With B Edwards once again holding up an end and building small partnerships through the middle order the scoreboard would continue to tick along around some tight bowling before Edwards fell for 126 in the 68th over. It would be left to the tail to wag and build a real competitive score and they did, batting around P Bruzzese (32) to reach 10/288 in the final over of the day. Kilsyth bowlers M Untanarer 3/31
J Booth 2/19 and M Young 2/30 would be the main wicket takers with a lot of tight overs bowled from the spinners J Smith and A Smith.
Wandin Womens vs Bayswater Park at Wandin – written by Olivia Edwards
Bayswater Park won the toss and elected to bowl. C Edwards (6) and G Burgi (19) opened the batting, kicking off the innings with a strong partnership. However making her maiden half-century, it was K Peluso (68*) who stood out within the innings, alongside J Lowrie (12) and O Edwards (10), and finally K Friend (22) before Peluso retired. The mother-daughter duo of A Peet (1*) and K Peet (0*) wrapped up the batting innings. Wandin were able to make 188, with Bayswater Park needing 189 to win off their 30 overs.
Bayswater Park came into the bat with O Edwards (2/15 off 6) and E Curwood (0/21 off 4) tackling the strong bats. With some key dismissals early, key wickets were taken by N Lowe (1/24 off 5) and C Edwards (1/10 off 4), and debutant J Friend (0/10 off 1) had a bowl too, getting close to her first wicket. With the sun blazing, the keeping of G Burgi didn’t go unnoticed, and Wandin’s fielding confined Bayswater Park to just 140 after their 30 overs. It was another win for the Wandin Women’s side, ready to take on next week.
