Falcons claim first innings

Caroline Springs has already claimed first innings points, while Melton Centrals has conceded them in a wet day of action in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association on Saturday.

The first day of the second last round was a mixed one, with some games not getting underway, others getting some play and some getting in full days.

In the Roy Picone Shield, Caroline Springs made the most of its time on the field against Point Cook.

The Warriors were bowled out for just 61 with Gavin McCallum taking five wickets and Jermaine Levy taking four wickets each for the Falcons.

The Falcons got the runs it needed to claim first innings points and will resume at 3-84.

Johaan Forbes-Anthony will resume at 33 not out with Rukshan Fernando one not out.

In the Russell Pollock Shield, it was a tough day out for Melton Centrals against Donnybrook.

Centrals batted first and were bowled out for 58 in the 31st over. Abhishek Aggarwal top scored with 17 at the top of the order as just two batters made double figures.

Donnybrook then batted out the day and piled on the runs, finishing 6-251.

Ryan Dreaver has two wickets for Centrals.

Burnside Springs United also got a full day of play against Moonee Ponds in division 5.

After being sent in, Moonee Ponds finished its overs 9-196. Mathew Sanders and Shohan Rangika took four wickets each.

In the Evans-Clark Shield, Melton South Royals were 2-83 after 33 overs against Sunshine YCW.

Leigh Edwards is 38 not out and Andrew Hodgart 21 not out.

Meanwhile in the senior division, Sydenham-Hillside will play in a second straight one-dayer with day one of its match washed out.

The Storm will play Westmeadows with the rest of the matches in that division getting underway.
