Portarlington got the better of Collendina in Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association B2 Grade on Saturday January 7.

Stephen Illingworth top scored for the Demons with 42 in the final total of 6/163 while Tom Dewey made 23.
Mark Tilders and Noah Milburn each got 20 to push the total up to more than four an over.
Oscar Walter and Dean Britt each snared two wickets for Dina. It was Britt’s 50th B Grade for the Snakes and he has been one of the club’s best players in A Grade this season.
Des Every (27) and Fletcher Keck (31) put on 56 for the second wickets when it was Collendina’s turn to bat, but that would be the only decent partnership of the innings.
Chris Thompson tried his best with 24, but a final total of 141 wasn’t enough.
Stephen Illingworth capped off a great game with two wickets while Pankaj Vyas, Riley Illingworth and Jesse Usher also took two each for Port.
Collendina thrashed Queenscliff in C Grade.
Mick Goodger top scored with 48 from 60 deliveries in Dina’s total of 185.

Kyne Krusic-Golub was Queenscliff’s best bowler with a tidy 3/18 from eight overs while Ethan Smith picked up two wickets.
In reply Queenscliff was 9/64,but a 30-run last wicket stand between Shane Matthews (18 not out) and Darren Britton (14) at least prolonged the inevitable.
Wursthorn completed a fine individual game with 3/24 from eight overs and George Every joined in on the fun with 3/25.
