So far so good for Sydenham Hillside in its last-ditch attempt to reach the NWMCA Luscombe Shield finals.
The Storm is 2/57 in reply to ladder leader Pascoe Vale Central’s total of 111.
A Storm win could also open the door for Kealba-Green Gully to pounce on the minor premiership.
But Kealba, all out for 143, is in deep trouble against Gladstone Park, which is cruising at 1/43.
