Barwon Heads is the only unbeaten BPCA A1 Grade after defeating Anglesea by four wickets in an even encounter.
Former Papua New Guinea ODI seamer Sema Kamea arrived during the week and took a wicket with his second ball to end with 1/20 from eight overs for the Seagulls.
Kamea’s lone was particularly impressive and he proved difficult to get away and looms as a key pick-up in a side that has relied a lot on its slow bowlers.
Anglesea made 9/140 with Matt High grabbing three wickets and leggie Dan Donaldson two.
At 5/58 in reply and then 6/97, Matt Bode (46 not out) and Darcy Hewitt (20 not out) got the Gulls to the line although seamer Ky Eskrigge (2/8 off six overs) certainly did his part for the Seas.
Drysdale produced a fine all-round game to knock off Barrabool.
Quick Blake Dobbin, veteran David Sykes, slow bowler Ben Spencer and Geelong West recruit Mitch Stephens all took two wickets for the Hawks with Barrabool all out for 147.
At 3/61 the game was evenly poised, but Hayden Eddy (51 not out) and again produced with the bat and UK import Tallan Burns (50 not out) shared an unbroken 90-run stand to seal the win.
Will Collins (57) and Lachie Platt (47 not out) spearheaded Inverleigh’s successful run chase against Armstrong Creek.
Ben Norgrove made 60 for the Titans and a total of 5/189 had them in the contest at tea, but the Kookaburras got the runs with seven wickets and eight balls in hand.
Tom Kearney made a superb 97 in Jan Juc’s 24-run win against Queenscliff.
The Sharks posted 5/210 and Queenscliff responded with 9/186 with Tom Bakker getting 65.
