Queenscliff veteran Tony Hanafin made 97 not out in B1 Grade in his team’s win against Drysdale.

Inverleigh opener Simon Craggs hit an unbeaten 106 from 114 balls as his B2 Grade side romped to a big win against Jan Juc while Winchelsea’s Jamie Doyle bludgeoned a whirlwind 121 not out in the same grade.

Odeon Grove’s Jaydip Patel hit a superb 104 against St Leonards in C Grade and Portarlington’s Sam Beeston played well for 83.

Barwon Heads’ Angus Ford, 13, made his second successive half-century with 57 not out to guide his team to a win.

In D Grade, Anglesea veteran Mark Stoneham made yet another ton with 104 not out. In the same game, Ocean Grove’s Jonathon Gill made 89 not out as the Grubbers prevailed. Gill previously coached Barwon Heads. Barrabool’s Ryan Birthisel took 5-14.
