Big scores for round one
ROUND one of the Warrnambool Moyne and District cricket season got off to a great start last weekend, with the Koroit v Merrivale clash a highlight.
The Harris Street Reserve saw some great action at the crease, with both sides smashing their way to 250 runs during the one-day Match.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Merrivale hit their way to a defendable 6/250 after 45 overs.
In reply, Koroit reached 4/252 in the 39th over to take the win.
Merrivale’s Matthew Sinnott top scored for the side, reaching 129 before out lbw, while team-mates Rhys Wallace (40) and captain mark Jones (28 not out) also contributed well.
In reply, Koroit’s Louis Sharman enjoyed an unbeaten knock of 105 while opener Patrick Sinnott fell just one round short of a century, caught and bowled on 99.
In other round one matches, Noorat Terang defeated Allansford-Panmure, Nirranda defeated Hawkesdale and Mortlake won over Warrnambool.
This weekend will see the Gators at home to Warrnambool, Mortlake will host Merrivale, the Titans and Koroit will meet at Killarney and Noorat Terang will head to Hawkesdale.
