Wallabies in good position

Wallington needs 155 runs for victory against Winchelsea with all 10 wickets intact in A2 Grade with a relatively even day one being played out on Saturday.

Winchelsea made 169 all out with Dane Wise-Graham snaring 4/43 from 19 overs and Damien Biemans 3/33 from 15.

Winch was 9/93 at one stage, but a 76-run last wicket stand between Matt Partridge (52) and Dean Hampshire (29 not out) gave the Blues a genuine chance of winning.

Wallington negotiated four overs before stumps and will go into day two on 0/14.

Club president Marc Occhipinti made a superb 125 not out to have Wallington in control of its C Grade game against Barwon Heads.

Wallington made 7/259 with Occhipinti hitting 17 fours and two sixes while Tony Jones made 43 and Jason Stewart 35.

Wallington defeated Ocean Grove in D Grade with five bowlers taking two wickets each in dismissing the Grubbers for 136.

Ben Hill then made 48 from 49 balls, five of which were sixes. Wallington was in a spot of bother at 5/97, but an unbroken 48-run stand between Chris Jackson (17 not out) and Ross Currie (26 not out) guided the team home safely.
