VTCA: Keilor set for one-dayer after unsafe pitch

Keilor will be chasing a first win of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association Senior Division season in a one-day clash on Saturday after the first day of the match against Greenvale was washed out.

Play was called off after the pitch was deemed unsafe to play on following rain.

Keilor is last on the table and yet to win, while Greenvale is unbeaten and second behind ladder leader South Caulfield.

Day one of Keilor’s second XI match, also against Greenvale, was similarly washed out.

In the north division, Keilor Park is 1-14 from 14 overs in its chase against Laverton.

Keilor Park put Laverton in first and struck early, with opener Sam Young out for his third consecutive duck.

But an in-form Matt O’Brien (49) went about resurrecting the top order with crucial runs, while 51 from Brent Sheean later in the innings, plus a few other starts, kept the scorecard ticking over.

In the north A1 division, Taylors Lakes posted 7-259 from 80 overs against St Albans.

St Andrews’ clash with Aberfeldie is precariously placed. St Andrews was dismissed for 109 but in 33 overs at Aberfeldie struck frequently to leave the away team teetering at 6-92 at stumps, with top-scorer Kieren Gray (40) the fifth wicket to fall.

Sunshine United was bowled out for just 80 in the two-day clash with Newport-Digman in west B1 division, but hit back late in the day to reduce Newport to 4-22 from 21 overs.

Sunshine Heights has already taken first-innings points against Airport West  St Christopher’s. Sent in to bat Airport West was bowled for just 119. By stumps, Sunshine Heights had reached 2-141.

Deer Park will be trying to avoid an outright loss against Point Cook. Bowled out for 57, Deer Park then bounced back to dismiss Airport West for 63. In its second innings, Deer Park was 3-23 at stumps.
