Tigers

Travelling to King’s Park, a solid start set the platform for a run feast. Brandon Clark (58no), Chris Brown (51), Sam Raru (51) and Keenan Hinton (42no) took full advantage of opening pair Jake Evans and James Blair’s willingness to blunt the UFTG attack, finishing on 9/321.
The under 15/2A XI fought back late against JPCC/Mountain Gate to set up an intriguing battle for the six points this Saturday.
James Lester (20) and Dan Watson (16) were best in a total of 97 that simply didn’t look enough. However, two early wickets had the visitors at 2/18 at the close of play.
Ferntree Gully got away to a flyer against the under 15/2B XI and looked set to set rack up a huge target by the drinks break.
To their credit the Tigers applied the brakes, eventually dismissing their hosts for 202. Jordan Tailby (3/22) continued his fine early season form for the under 13/1 XI in Eildon Park’s total of 226.
In a high quality match, both sides will be confident of posting a win on day 2.
Mulgrave took full advantage of an under 17 XI side that is struggling to concentrate on the basics of the game.
With Jake Lynch (3/38) again leading the way, support was patchy at best and a total of 271 is required to get their season back on track.
