Top spot up for grabs

The minor premiership will be on the line in the final round of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division season.

Deer Park moved to top spot on Saturday, while the finals race is still alive heading into the final round, with third and fourth undecided.

Having already claimed first innings points on day one of their clash with Sydenham-Hillside, the Lions sent a message on Saturday as they claimed an outright win.

The Lions ended day one at 3-163 in reply to 131.

They sent the Storm back in to start day two and were able to bowl them out for 154.

Anthony Alleyne top scored with 52 for the Storm.

Fawad Ahmed took 5-29 for the Lions.

The Lions then went in chase of the whole 10 points, finishing 5-125 off 14.5 overs.

Aaron Ayre finished with 53 not out off 36 balls.

The Lions now sit three points clear of Keilor heading into the final round.

The Storm must win in the final round and hope Yarraville Club losses to have any chance of making finals.

Keilor will finish in the top two alongside Deer Park after chasing down St Albans’ big total on Saturday.

The Saints had made 299 on day one of the match.

All the Blues batters got starts as they chased down the runs in the 78th over.

The Blues finished 6-300.

Cameron Thorley top scored with 67.

Akila Isanka took 5-78 for the Saints.

Keilor will face Deer Park in the final round with the winner to finish on top after the regular season.

The Saints need to win in the final round and hope results go their way to play finals.
