Nuances at play

NUANCES of a five-team competition have played out in this weekend's Upper Loddon Cricket Association matches.

From newly-installed flag favourites to now just being another team with a chance, Kingower went down to Bridgewater by three runs.

And Boort-Yando has strung together consecutive victories for the first time this season by two runs as Wedderburn lowered colours by two runs.

The race to a spot in the finals, on paper at least, is now wide open and shows that bowlers are leading the play this season - no team batted out its full 35 overs at the weekend.
