Hanwood and Coro Cougars take wins in GDCA second grade

After winning the toss and electing to bat against Diggers, Hanwood was able to make a flying start at the top of the order, with Tarenjit Mankoo and Sam Robinson putting on 80 runs for the first wicket before Robinson (15) was bowled by Mark Favell.

Mankoo (69) departed soon after when he was bowled by Ranitu (1/30) before Favell (2/29) picked up the wicket of Luke Catanzariti (2).

Michael Crosato (37*) and Trevor Cowie (17*) added late runs to see Hanwood finish on 3/153.

Lance Gilbert (17) and Rocky Perre (23) got Diggers off to a good start before quick wickets to Shannon Caughey (3/24), Crosato (2/18) and Catanzariti (2/11) but the pressure back on.

Max Goirigolazzi (11) tried to give his side some chance, but Daniel Whitworth came into the attack and claimed the final two wickets to see Diggers bowled out for 85 and give Hanwood a 68-run win.

Coro was able to move into third after picking up a 24-run win over Coleambally.

Jack Hutchinson (20), Jamie Bennett (29) and Bohdy Martyn (15) all got starts to help the Cougars finish their 20 overs on 7/101.

In reply, it was only Chris Iannelli (12) and Shaun Iddles (23*) who were able to make an impact for the Nomads with the bat as Martyn (3/17), Hutchinson (2/7) and Nick Witherspoon (2/10) ripped through.

In the final game, weather intervened with four balls remaining in the clash between Exies Eagles and Leagues.

Vilish Patel (37*) led the way, while contributions from Teao Woetai (14) and Gurjot Singh (25) helped the Panthers to 5/113 off their 20 overs.

Peter Davis (16) made a quick impression, but it was the rest of the top order that struggled. Don Jayasuriya (25*) and Inshira Koralagama (12*) were out in the middle, with Exies needing 20 runs off the final four balls to secure a win before a downpour hit the Showgrounds.
