Grove hangs on despite loss

Ocean Grove remained half a game outside the A1 Grade top four despite losing to Armstrong Creek.

With Barrabool, Jan Juc and Drysdale all losing it meant the Grubbers were able to stay in finals contention.

Queenscliff won its second game in a row to improve its chances of avoiding relegation and even remains an outside chance for finals.

Armstrong Creek batted first and made 6/174 with Ben Norgrove (53) playing well while Dan Roddis picked up three wickets for Grove.

Roddis also top scored with 23, but Grove fell 54 runs short, being bowled out for 120.

Jason Robertson and Daniel Maclean each grabbed three wickets for the Titans.

Armstrong Creek replaced Ocean Grove in second spot on the B1 Grade ladder.

Jackson Kent top scored with 39 in Grove’s innings of 7/156.

The Titans chased down the target although it was close. They had three wickets and four balls up their sleeves in doing so. Tom Kent took 3/17 from eight very tidy overs.

Ocean Grove is a game outside the C1 Grade top four after a loss to Inverleigh. Adam Spiby made 43 with Grove reaching 7/158 after 40 overs. Inverleigh was 5/159 in reply.

Darren Cameron blasted an epic hundred in Ocean Grove’s D Grade win against Surf Coast. Cameron made 100 retired while Zack Carmody (66) and Tyler Carmody (65 not out) also had some fun at the crease. Surf Coast was no match for Grove’s massive 6/293, falling to be all out for 82 with Ray Berry taking 4/18.
