Jan Juc has already claimed first innings points against St Leonards on a day where 17 wickets fell for just 138 runs.
A stunning bowling display from Tomas Kearney was largely responsible for the Sharks’ A1 Grade routing of the Saints.
Kearney took five wickets for just one run while the reliable Jordy Graham snared three and star paceman Nicky Smith two as the Saints were bowled out for just 50.
First-innings points didn’t come easily, though. Jan Juc was 4-24 in reply and ended up declaring one run ahead for the loss of six wickets.
In reply, St Leonards fared much better with the bat and is 1-37 going into day two. Outright points are on the radar for Jan Juc and they should succeed, but St Leonards is still an outside chance of claiming six points from the game if it can bat well and take 10 second innings wickets.
Anglesea made 9-208 against Barrabool with Brett Venables (43 from 98), Simon Umbers (42 from 136), Toby Sudweeks (42 from 54) and Ty Norman (32 from 74) getting most of the runs.
Kane Pickering grabbed 5-42 from 15 overs for the Bulls.
Armstrong Creek was 2-148 from 42 overs against Queenscliff when rain ended play prematurely.
Chris Marsiglio (46) and Clay Mulgrew (30 not out) put on 107 for the opening partnership for the Titans and they will probably look to score quickly next week to have a chance at winning.
In A2 Grade, Barwon Heads is headed for first-innings points, needing 65 runs with all 10 wickets intact against Newcomb.
It was young leg-spinner Harry Hyland who was the star of the afternoon with 5-29 from 14 overs. Veteran Matt High grabbed 3-13 from 12 with Newcomb all out for 129. Andrew Morrison played well for the Bulls for his 40 from 86 balls.
In reply, the Heads are 0-75 with Ben Harris (38) and Matt Bode (34) to resume on day two.
