Sunshine YCW suffered its first loss of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association Evans Clark Shield season, losing to Werribee Centrals on Saturday.

Having had a strong return to division 4, the Cougars were tested by the Centurions who had yet to get the results on the board.

Chasing 249, the Cougars were bowled out for 200 in the 67th over. Bailey Williamson top scored for the Cougars with 0.

With the loss and Melton South Royals outright win, the Cougars slip to second.

The Crows had made 8-301 on day one of the match.

The Dockers were able to put on 125 for the second wicket to take control of the game.

While they started to lose a few wickets, they were able to do enough to hit the winning runs in the second last over, finishing 6-303.

The Crows now sit in third spot.

PEGS also had a loss on Saturday, losing to Doutta Stars.

Chasing 257, PEGS was bowled out for 207. Shakeem Clarke top scored with 47.

In the Steve McNamara Shield, Grand United continued its good form as it beat Tullamarine.

Chasing the Demons’ 158, the Gorillas made 5-195 on Saturday. Hashan James top scored with 77 not out.

The Gorillas sit second on the ladder.
