Anglesea remained undefeated after chasing down Queenscliff’s total of 171 in Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association A1 Grade on Saturday.
Brett Venables’ 85 from just 96 deliveries ensured the Seas would keep top spot on the ladder.
Anglesea reached the target with the loss of just two wickets with Tyron Norman (27) and Joel Davies (20) getting starts.
Venables fell just after the winning runs were hit, but Anglesea batted on and was 7/207 when stumps were called early.
Inverleigh caused an upset with a 53-run win against Jan Juc.
Only Luke Edwards (44) and Fraser Clatworthy (30) looked likely with the bat for the Sharks as they found Inverleigh’s score of 195 too much to chase down.
The wickets were shared around, but Lachlan Platt took 3/9 for the winners.
St Leonards produced its best batting effort of the season, but still went down to Ocean Grove by 81 runs.
Chasing an unlikely 272, the Saints were 5/60 and Ocean Grove could have been forgiven for thinking ahead and dreaming of an outright win.
But Kanishka Nawagamuwa had other ideas and fell just two runs short of what would have been a well-deserved century. He was the last man dismissed for 98 with St Leonards on 190.
Barrabool emerged as a genuine premiership threat, this time with a win against A1 Grade newcomers Armstrong Creek.
Needing 128 for victory, plenty of batters got starts for the Bulls as they were on 8/142 when stumps were drawn early.
