Inverloch 0/38 d Nerrena 35
INVERLOCH defeated Nerrena on the Leongatha Turf, batting first the Red Caps failed to fire with the bat.
Opening bowlers for Inverloch Jesse Dugard and Harry Butcher had the Red Caps in early trouble and that was compounded by the run out of their skipper Tadgh Gannon. 
Despite a determined effort from Billy Trotman (11 off 69 balls) and Archie Gannon (10*) they never got any momentum in their innings. 
Rhys Newman (3/2 from 5) cleaned up the tail with a magnificent Hat Trick and was the leading bowler for Inverloch.
Inverloch opening batters Riley Harris (21*) and Harry Butcher (15*) reached the total without losing a wicket. 
Man Of the Match honours went to Stingrays skipper Harry Butcher for his effort with bat and ball.

P-Island 9/137 d Imperials 107 
THE Imperials won the toss and elected to bowl on a very good looking Wonthaggi Turf. 
The Island got off to a good start with openers Heath Womersley and Max Arceo putting on a 63 run stand before Arceo was dismissed for 17. 
Henry Peppard joined Womersley at the crease before Womersley was dismissed for a well-made 33, Peppard (22) and Noah Williams (12) were the only other batters to reach double figures as the Imps bowlers finished the last 20 overs strongly. 
Klayton McGrath (3/24 from 8) and Zavier Lamers (2/12 from 6) the pick of the bowlers.
Archie Casey and Campbell Reid opened up for the Imps facing the formidable left arm duo of Tim Niven and George McCausland. 
Reid was brilliantly run out by Noah Williams with a direct hit to get the Island off to a great start. 
The Imps then slumped to 4/30 before skipper Aydan Williams (25) and Cam Bruce (16) dug in with a 46-run partnership to get the Imps back in the game. 
The dismissal of Bruce led to a collapse of 4/3 including the big scalp of Williams, Leevi Lidstone (14*) added some late runs but the Imps came up 30 runs short. 
A great season by a young talented Imps side will have them very excited about the future.
Heath Womersley (4/33 from 10), Henry Peppard and Tim Niven were the pick of the bowlers. 
Heath Womersley was awarded Man of The Match for his great all round game.
