Collendina began its A2 Grade season with a loss to Portarlington.
Batting first the Cobras were well served by Richie Peters (29 from 61 balls) and skipper Nathan Frye (25 from 48) with a 46-run opening stand.
Port put the brakes on the innings with some clever bowling and slick fielding, but Justin Miller went to work with an ominous 23 before he was bowled by the impressive Brenton Toole.
Youngster Aidann Foard made a patient 20 not out from 63 deliveries and Izaak Terhorst played well late in the innings for 19 from 28.
A final total of 7-131 was competitive early in the season.
Tim Gillett took 3-33 for the Demons while Toole and Alex Mann conceded just 29 from their combined 16 overs.
Cam Gourley then played an important innings for Portarlington and his 42 from 66 was one of the reasons his side got home with five wickets and 22 balls to spare.
Jesse Hunter hit the ball well during his 33 from 50, but at 5-93, things could have gone either way.
But Jack Baldi then capped off a great game with 27 not out from 29 to go with his two wickets.
Evergreen Charlie Lamb was his usual economical self with 1-19 from eight for Dina.
