Gulls and Hawks the teams to beat

Barwon Heads and Drysdale confirmed that they are the teams to beat in Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association A2 Grade.

Resuming the season on January 7, the Hawks thrashed third placed Wallington.

Wallington was all out for just 116 with Damien Biemans (38) and Damien Howsam (36) getting runs while a late-order cameo from Craig Hillgrove (32 off 17 deliveries) provided entertainment.

Ben Spencer picked up three wickets for Drysdale while youngster Hayden Eddy grabbed two in a promising display.

Drysdale got the required runs in the 26th over and lost just the wicket of Charlie Clode, but not before he made a sparkling 49 from 46 balls.

Jason Malcolm played the anchor role with 20 not out from 69 balls while skipper Nick Hallam continued his bountiful season with 50 not out from 40.

Dane Wise-Graham bowled well in his 200th game for the Wallabies, taking 1/19 from eight tidy overs.

Barwon Heads brushed aside Portarlington in ruthless fashion to remain on top of the ladder.

Jason Mallett got runs yet again with 55 from 76 deliveries and Charlie Hurst racked up another half-century with 62 from 72.

New recruit and decorated Sub District cricketer Brent McMinn smacked 40 from 32 before being run out.

Alex Mann grabbed two wickets for Port, but they needed 206 for victory and eventually fell 72 runs short.

Brenton Toole made 38 and Cameron Gourley 26, but it was the slow bowling of veteran Matt High that did all the damage for the Heads.

High took 5/16 from seven overs to lead the Seagulls to victory.

Winchelsea defeated Newcomb with John Manbridge and Adam Korth both making half-centuries.

Ashley Hubberd then grabbed 5/9 to help rout the Bulls for 68.
