VTCA: Bruised Keilor can’t bat away the pain

Keilor is sinking deeper into the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division quicksand. The Blues are winless, sitting in the relegation zone and still suspect with bat in hand.

Their bowlers did the job on Saturday, routing Old Mentonians for 93, with three wickets each to Dan Schuppan and Jody Hutchinson.

But the run chase was a disaster, with the Blues skittled for 87 and none of the top seven batsmen reaching double figures.

The Blues face reigning premiers Greenvale at Keilor Recreation Reserve on Saturday.

In north division, Keilor Park (133) stays bottom after a losing to West Coburg (7-135).

In north A1, Sunshine Druids (9-198) moved into the top four with a resounding win over Altona Roosters (145).

In west B1, Sunshine Heights (8-112) leapt into fourth with victory over Barkly Street (88); Sunshine United (5-136) upset previously unbeaten Wyndhamvale (8-135); but Sunshine YCW’s (85) misery continued in defeat to Newport-Digman (5-164).
