Rain wreaks havoc on final round

Rain wreaked havoc on day one of the final home and away round of Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association matches on Saturday February 25.

A minimum of 25 overs need to be completed on day one of two-day matches for play to resume the following weekend.

While several matches were largely unaffected, others will revert to 40-over one-day matches this Saturday.

Jan Juc is in a strong position to claim a finals spot against Ocean Grove.

The Sharks will resume at 5/203 with six overs of their innings remaining.

Nick Hyden was the star of the show with a superb 107 not out. Hyden’s 207-ball innings contained 13 fours and three sixes and he received fine support from Jack Taylor (51) in a 149-run third-wicket partnership.

Jan Juc can make the finals if it wins and Armstrong Creek loses to Anglesea.

Armstrong Creek was 0/16 when rain prevented any further play.

The Titans need to win to stay in fourth spot and they will front up for a one-dayer against Anglesea this Saturday.

Barrabool and Queenscliff will also play a one-dayer this week to see who finishes top of the ladder.

Barrabool was 1/26 when the heavens opened and forced players from the field for the rest of the day.

Inverleigh made 176 against St Leonards.

At one stage Inverleigh was 2/129, but Kanishka Nawagamuwa stood up to take 6/43 from 17.4 overs for the Saints.

Inverleigh lost 8/47 after Lachie Platt scored a fine 53 at the top of the order.

In A2 Grade, Barwon Heads was just four deliveries away from being able to resume this week at 0/66 against Portarlington.

Matt Bode (36 not out) and Jason Mallett (26 not out) were travelling nicely from 24.2 overs before rain forced play to stop.

The players were unable to return to the field and will now face off in a one-dayer this week.

Had another four balls been bowled, Barwon Heads would have resumed with 50 overs at its disposal.

Wallington was 3/69 from 20 overs against Drysdale with Damien Biemans (29) and Sven Burluraux (20 not out) getting starts and Will Ritchie grabbing two wickets.

The two sides will play a one-dayer this week. Drysdale needs to win and hope Port knocks off Barwon Heads to regain top spot.

Winchelsea was 1/47 from 17 overs against Newcomb when play finished for the afternoon. Winch can grab third spot if it wins a one-dayer this week and Wallington loses.
