Burras get the win

Diggers Rest Bulla continued on its winning ways as rain again was an issue in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association.

In the Johnstone Shield, Diggers Rest Bulla and East Sunbury were the winners.

The Burras entered day two of the match with Harkness in control, but with rain falling on Saturday it seemed like the weather would be the biggest obstacle.

The Burras resumed at 1-23 in reply to 96.

Despite the rain, the two sides got on the ground with the Burras continuing their strong form.

They lost just one more wicket on the way to first innings points.

The Burras declared at 5-200 with Kael Beaumont top scoring with 62.

Harkness was able to avoid an outright loss, finishing 5-100 in its second innings.

Captain Simarjeet Singh made an unbeaten 36 to keep the Burras out.

East Sunbury got an important win against Kilmore.

Chasing 190, the match got off to a delayed start.

It didn’t matter as the Thunder put together its best batting performance of the season to finish 6-200.

Captain Justin Nelson top scored with 55 while Alec Boorsma (33 not out) and Evan Wilkins (35 not out) got the Thunder home.

Eastern Hill had already claimed first innings points against Lancefield but couldn’t get the outright.

There was no action in the Sunbury Kangaroos and Eynesbury’s match after it became a one-dayer after day one was washed out.
