WEDDERBURN Band’s chase after Kingower’s total of 142 was rocked as they crashed to 2-0 in the second over of their two-day junior match.
Kingower captain Ryder Smith took wickets with the second and third balls of his spell, setting up a thrilling run chase when play resumes this Saturday.
The Band battled to 2-11 from six overs before stumps was called.
Earlier, a 54-run opening partnership between Tyler Murphy (44) and Morgan Lonza (30) set up Kingower’s innings.
But until Matilda Rose’s unbeaten 17, batting at number nine, no one else managed double figures as Kingower lost 9-59 before a crucial 29-run last-wicket stand.
Blaz Cramp was outstanding for Wedderburn, taking 3-2 from eight tight overs, while Edwin Sellick took 4-21.
Cramp, however, was one of Smith’s two early wickets, along with Aaron Thomas.
Sellick, not out on one, will resume the run chase alongside Beau Hartnell, who is on four.
Boort Yando’s unbeaten junior cricket team has set the Bridgewater Bulls an imposing task after compiling 5-215 on the first morning of their two-day match with Bridgewater Bulls.
Young star Cooper Gooding retired on 51 not out from 43 balls, while Jake O’Flaherty clubbed 43 runs off just 29 balls batting at number six.
The Magpies kept up a solid run rate from the start, anchored by Jacob Malone, who retired not out on 22 from 87 balls as an opener and let the stroke makers loose at the other end.
Gooding hit four boundaries in his innings, while O’Flaherty struck half a dozen fours.
Isaac Ferguson was the best of the Bulls bowlers, taking 2-27 off his five overs, including clean bowling the dangerous O’Flaherty.
Connor Alexander, Lewis Lonsdale and Ned Wickham all took a wicket each.
