AT 0-107, Kingower juniors were cruising towards their target of 185 against Boort Yando in the Upper Loddon Cricket Association two-day match on Saturday.
Tyler Murphy and Morgan Lonza were batting beautifully and after 27 overs the game looked to be Kingower’s to lose.
And so it proved. Ten wickets fell for 32 runs as Kingower crashed to be all out for 139.
Apart from Murphy’s 60, Lonza’s 28 and Riley Murphy’s not out 20, no other batsman made more than two, with four players making ducks.
Six wickets fell for six runs amid the mayhem, as Boort Yando shared the spoils, with eight bowlers claiming scalps but none taking more than two wickets.
Sam McClelland finished with 2-7 from three overs, with Deklan King taking 2-27 from five overs.
Cooper Gooding completed a fine performance by taking four catches behind the stumps after making 64 not out in his side’s innings last week.
BRIDGEWATER’S junior cricket team had a strong win over Wedderburn Band.
The Bulls held Wedderburn to 6-96 on the first Saturday of the two-match game and compiled 7-107 in response.
Six of those wickets were retired, with Bridgewater giving everyone a hit after passing their opponents’ total.
This meant Wedderburn claimed only one victim with the ball.
Bridgewater was steered to victory by opener and vice-captain Lewis Lonsdale, who retired not out for a well-made 50 from 110 balls.
Captain Connor Alexander, who also opened, made 13 off 113 balls in a partnership of 82 before being bowled by Blaz Cramp, who finished with 1-7 off eight overs.
Lonsdale was named the ULCA junior player of the round for his half-century.
