Maximum points for Heads

Barwon Heads completed a brutal demolition job on Newcomb in A2 Grade on Saturday.

The Seagulls claimed all 10 points on offer in the most ruthless of ways.

Resuming at 0-75 chasing 129, Ben Harris and Matthew Bode continued on their merry way.

Bode brought up his second century of the season with 108 not out and Harris was unbeaten on 105 when Barwon Heads declared at 0-220, a lead of 91.

Newcomb needed to survive to prevent the outright loss, but it was bundled out for just 15 in embarrassing fashion.

James Ponsford joined the party with the amazing figures of 6-5 and Matt Oakley claimed 3-9 with Newcomb lasting only 12 overs.

The outright win put Barwon Heads on top of the ladder with a mammoth percentage of 33.27 while Newcomb is anchored to the bottom.

Drysdale gambled by declaring overnight at 8-184, but came away with the points against a plucky Collendina.

Shannon Griffin (33 off 63) and Richie Peters (26 off 28) played well for the Cobras, but Drysdale took wickets when they mattered thanks to Blake Dobbin and Ben Spencer, who snared three each.

Winchelsea had no trouble chasing down Portarlington’s modest 117.

Winch reached the target with the loss of only two wickets. Adam Korth was the best of the batters with 46 not out from 61 deliveries.

Wallington had the bye.
