L&D defeat Narrandera in LDCA B Grade

After winning the toss and electing to bat, the Ferrets lost an early wicket with David Cato taking the wicket of Mathew Axtill (4) before Peter Lashbrook, and Harrison Steele got their side back on track.

The pair were able to put on 33 and even when Lashbrook (25) was caught off the bowling of Cato, Bryce Rogers filled the void left, and the Ferrets maintained their high scoring.

Steele (41) lead the way while contributions from Rogers (14) and Maclean Crompton (15) saw the Ferrets reach the end of their 20 overs on 6/129.

The reply for the Carpheads made a tough start with Rogers (2/3) and Bryce Collins (4/8) ripping through the Narrandera batsmen to see them sitting at 7/18 after 9.3 overs.

Jack Rilen (35) offered some resistance to the onslaught from the Ferrets bowlers as the Carpheads managed to bat out the remaining overs to finish on 9/66 after the 20 overs to see the Ferrets take a big win and move 19 points clear at the top of the table.

It wasn't just the B grade L&D side who were able to take a big win this week with their C graders also getting the job done against St Francis.

The Ferrets batted first and made the most of it with Tyler O'Connell (86*) leading the way while Jack Kidd (40) and Harrison Steele (51*) played the supporting roles to see their side finish their 20 overs on a massive 192 runs.

It was always going to be a tough chase for St Francis with Taylor Heath (15), Zachary Dart (34) and James Clarke (24*) leading the way for the St Francis side as they reach 8/140 off their 20 overs to see the Ferrets take a 52-run win.

In the Yanco Cricket Club derby, it was the Phantoms who overcame the Stars.

Dan Hillam (27) top-scored for the Stars while Thomas Camm (26*) and Cohen Mathews (14) also made double digits to see their side close their innings on 4/92.

Darcey Cullen laid the foundations for the Phantoms while Max Yelland (16) and Harvey Gay (19) helped their side chase down the total with six wickets in hand and 3.1 overs remaining.
