A quick wrap of some of the sports stories from the weekend.

Rain ended Keilor’s hopes of a finals spot in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division. The Blues needed to beat Aberfeldie and hope that Yarraville Club lost to Westmeadows. Neither of those matches went ahead due to heavy rain, which meant the top four remained the same. St Albans was able to get a final round win, beating Doutta Stars. Sunshine United’s match against Haig Fawkner got under way, but ended in a draw.
