Keilor is the first team through to the Victorian Turf Cricket Association T20 semi finals, with its undefeated run continuing.

The Blues, who are playing in the group one of the quarter finals, won their second game of the round on Tuesday night against Footscray United.

United were bowled out for 101 with one ball remaining, with Charith Perera top scoring with 33.

The Blues shared the wickets around, with four players taking two wickets.

Keilor had little trouble getting the runs, finishing 3-105 with just over three overs remaining.

Daniel Stravis made an unbeaten 50 in the win.

The result means the Blues, who made the semi finals last year, sit on four points, with both Footscray United and Williamstown Imperials without any points.

Those two teams face each other in the remaining match of the group next Tuesday.

In group two, top spot will be decided in the final match between Sunshine United and Point Cook.

The two teams both sit on two points. Point Cook won its match on Tuesday night without bowling a ball, with Royal Park-Brunswick forfeiting.
