WEDDEDRURN veteran Steve Giorlando has ripped through the Kingower order on his way to a five-wicket haul at Market Reserve on Saturday.
Only Blake Pickles was able to reach a decent score for Kingower but he also succumbed to the brilliance of Giorlando.
Defending a target of 101, Wedderburn had Will Deason back in the sheds mid-way through the fourth over when he nicked a Will Holt delivery into the hands of Giorlando.
That was the start of the Giorlando show that had Kingower all out in 19.6 overs.
Put into bat Wedderburn had an early setback with the loss of opener Isaac Holt.
But Cam Steel and Will Holt put respect back into target.
Holt had four monster sixes and a couple of boundaries before caught by Jayden Leach after hitting 43.
Cam Steel, like fellow opener Isaac Holt, had a boundary with his first ball but was soon restricted to singles as Pickles, Rowe and Simpson had his measure. Steel would find better rhythm later in the innings before bowled by Pickles late in the innings.
Only Giorloando offered resistance for the Wedderburn tail as the Band hit a mediocre 101 off the 20 overs.
Pickles was the most effective of Kingower’s bowlers in his short spell with the ball.
