A NUMBER of strong individual efforts highlighted this week’s Swan Hill District Cricket Association junior matches.
Brady Hogan’s 66 was a clear top score in the Under 17s game at Woorinen, with Swan Hill Lakers subsequently recording 126 — 72 more than the home side’s total — to take out first innings points.
A strong performance with the ball by Woorinen’s Marcus Mangiameli — who finished with 4-11 — wasn’t enough to turn the game in the Tigers’ favour.
Over at North Park, Tom McGregor’s 61 not out was about half of RSL’s 125, with Beau Alty and Jack Cook claiming three wickets apiece in the Blues’ first innings victory.
Across at Ken Harrison Sporting Complex, St Mary’s Tyntynder suffered a rare defeat.
The Northern Razorbacks got home by six runs, with Nic Ralph’s contribution — he claimed four wickets and hit 48 runs — playing a significant part in his side’s win over the Saints.
