The under 11s produced another dominant performance against Macleay with a 109 run win at Rec 3 on Sunday.
Mitchell Andrews continued his strong batting form with 36 not out, while Harry Plummer also made 36 before taking 3/1.

At Johnny Martin Oval, the under 15s were sent into bat by Hastings Green and an arm wrestle ensued.
Opener Charlie Matheson made an invaluable 60, before a late partnership between Rory Turner (34) and Zack Randle (11) helped Manning to a stubborn 8/150 from their 45 overs.
