Anglesea defeated Armstrong Creek in the BPCA B1 Grade final at Barwon Heads on Saturday.
The Seas won the toss and batted with skipper Darcy Cooper making a brilliant 56 not out.
Lee Edmonds hit a sparkling 52 and Sam Weight chipped in with 32 in the final score of 8-174.
Ravi Kiran picked up 3-28 for the Titans to stem the flow of runs. Ben Notman was consistent, taking 1-24 from eight overs and Ryan Parkinson picked up two wickets.
Chris Marsiglio (25) and Nick Johnson (36) gave the Titans a terrific start, but some superb bowling from Matt McGuane saw the pendulum wing back to Anglesea’s favour.
Darcy French (23), Notman (15) and Ben Fary (18 not out) gave the Titans a glimmer of hope, but they fell nine runs short and ended their 40 overs at 9-165.
McGuane took 3-38 for Anglesea in a brilliant performance while Chris Hornsey did his job with 2-16 from eight tight overs and Jarryd McGuane snared 2-25.
IN B2 GRADE, Portarlington won a heart stopper against St Leonards at Drysdale.
Port batted first and was in real trouble at 6-80. Nick Kyrou didn’t take a wicket, but conceded just 12 runs from his eight overs.
Jamie Morgan made 27 from 66 balls for Port while Anthony Ward and Alex Bonner picked up two wickets each.
Tyler Heatlie played a superb cameo, hitting straight and sharing in a 43-run stand with young left-hander Jackson McGrath (12).
Heatlie made a swashbuckling 35 from 26 deliveries to help Port to a reasonable total of 8-155.
St Leonards waas 3-14 in reply and were struggling to get Morgan (2-25) and Sean Walton (1-18) away.
Marty Frankovic (23 off 54) and Steve Grey (43 off 79) then set about getting the Saints back into the game. Aaron Nicholson (1-27) then removed Frankovic with the score at 4-53.
Alex Bonner (24 off 35) and Lachie Campbell (25 off 18) kept the momentum going, but the team fell five runs short being 8-150 at the end of 40 overs.
The all-round efforts of Morgan was probably the difference between the two sides and Port will now compete in B1 Grade next season.
