Collendina A1 claimed a vital three points in a rain affected Round 3 drawn match against Queenscliff at Royal Park in Point Lonsdale on Saturday 19 October.
The drawn result means the Cobras move into seventh after they leap-frogged a winless Portarlington, which sits on the bottom following a seven-wicket loss to Ocean Grove.
Collendina faced 29.3 overs to score 4/83 before play was abandoned due to weather.
Cobra A1 interim captain Jye Hearps said despite the three points, it was a frustrating day for players with the ‘on off stop start’ nature of play.
“It was one of those days that all cricketers don’t enjoy – the on off, on off,” Hearps said.
“I think a lot of us just want to know one way or another are we either going to play or not?
“As soon as we lost that first 22 minutes which meant it affected the result then (both teams) knew we were going to play for a draw.”
Cobra opener Kade Norquay top scored with 37, while batting pair Max Sutton (36 not out) and Ben Ricardo (0) played their first games of the season.
COLLENDINA will now play at home against Barrabool in the Round 4 one-day clash on Saturday.
