McIntyre Cup Firsts
Broadford travelled to Sunbury and challenged the Kangaroos, who won the toss and elected to field first.
Broadford’s standout batters included Gareth Sharp and Sikander Sharma, who, between the two, contributed 54 runs to Broadford’s innings, with the final score 10 out for 185, defeating Sunbury Kangaroos, 9 out for 126.
It was a high scoring affair between Rupertswood and Macedon when they played at the Salesian College in Sunbury. Macedon came out on top, 7 out for 285 confidently defeating Rupertswood, 10 out for 165.
Across the public holiday weekend, Broadford’s McIntyre Cup Firsts will play Sunbury United at the Harley Hammond Reserve for the first innings of their two day match.
Jensen Shield Firsts
Gisborne played at home against Lancefield, a close match that finished with the Tigers scoring 3 out for 109, narrowly defeating the home team who were 8 out for 107.
Meanwhile, Rupertswood travelled to play Wallan and won the toss. They took the home side by surprise with runs accumulating at a steady rate.
In the fielding they quickly reduced Wallan’s wickets and damaged their run rate significantly. A jubilant Rupertswood finished 9 out for 195, defeating Wallan who were 10 out for 85.
The Jensen Shield series will take a break this weekend, and return on February 1 to see Gisborne travel to play Wallan for a one day match.
Kookaburra Women’s
Women’s cricket will return on Sunday, February 2, when Kilmore plays on their home turf against Macedon, and Wallan plays at home against Gisborne.
