TOP OF THE ladder Boort Yando will defend a score of 9/163 when the Magpies’ two-day junior clash with Kingower resumes on Saturday.
Boort can thank young star Cooper Gooding, who was last out having scored a brilliant 85.
Gooding hit 11 fours in his knock, dominating every partnership.
Next best was opener Jacob Malone, who remarkably batted throughout the innings to score 24 not out. His was a crucial role, given the next best score was eight by Chaise Hird.
Kingower shared the wickets around, with seven bowlers taking a scalp and Xander Wilson recording the best figures with 2-19 from 7.1 overs, including the wicket of Gooding.
Two games behind Boort on the ladder, Kingower will have to bat impressively to win and ensure it remains in second place. The first day of the Bridgewater Bulls versus Wedderburn Band contest was abandoned, so the teams will play a one-day match on Saturday.
If the Bulls are successful against the winless Band, and Kingower loses, Bridgewater will move into second place on the ladder.
Boort remains unbeaten on top of the ladder.
