Collendina rounded off its A2 Grade season with a win against Newcomb on Saturday February 18.

With a bye in the final round and finals not on the agenda, the Cobras’ season is now done.

Collendina made 173 on day one with Richie Peters getting 48 and Dean Britt 41 while Ned Badrock played an important hand of 25 at No 9.

Newcomb was 2/22 at the close of play and eventually fell for 122 in what was an improved effort from the Bulls.

Britt completed a fine game with 4/37 from 15 overs. Britt ended the season with 23 wickets at 14.26 and an economy rate of 2.93 runs per over.

Badrock chipped in with two wickets of his own to give Collendina its second win of the season, both against Newcomb.

Collendina’s B2 Grade side will play finals and will most likely meet Drysdale in a semi.

The Cobras will meet Portarlington in the final round after having the past fortnight off with a bye.

The C Grade side was well beaten by ladder leader Armstrong in the penultimate round.

The Titans made 7/312 with usual wicket-keeper Des Every making a successful cameo at the bowling crease, snaring 3/26.

Collendina could manage only 92 in reply with Grant McIntosh (25) top scoring.

In a tight D Grade race for a finals spot, Collendina is in fourth place with two games to go.

St Leonards, Drysdale and Dina are all on 60 points while Jan Juc and Queenscliff are just outside the top four on 57.

Cameron Kavaliunas made his second century of the season as Collendina racked up 4/255 against Anglesea.

Kavaliunas made 106 retired and hit 11 fours and five sixes while Darcy Harrington made 36.

In reply, Anglesea was all out for 106 with Kavaliunas and Jack Thomson grabbing two wickets each.
