THE first balls were bowled in a month when Upper Loddon senior cricket saw Bridgewater meet Boort Yando on Saturday.
A hat-trick of washouts had left the Bridgewater ground with a slow outfield.
Boort bowlers wreaked early havoc on Bridgewater - captain Jarrod Hodoras had opener Tom McKinley walking back to the pavilion after just four balls and the home side still to score.
Bridgewater skipper Harry McKinley came to the crease with the score on 3-12 and went on to hit an impressive 49 before falling to the bowling of Fergus Bear. He was the last wicket to fall, backed up in the innings by double-figure contributions from Wood and Pickering.
McKinley then returned to open Bridgewater’s bowling and claimed the wicket of Joshua Smith, caught by Wood.
Wood’s bowling coaxed Bear to take a chance, only to be run out soon after.
However, Boort found rhythm when Alex Cockerell joined Blake Slatter at the crease. Slatter would soon be dismissed but Hodoras and Al Knight ensured their team finished five runs clerar of Bridgewater after the 35 overs with two wickets to spare.
Wedderburn-Arnold match was declared a draw due to the wet ground. Wedderburn is yet to play a game this season and has the bye on Saturday when Arnold plays Bridgewater and Kingower meets Boort Yando
