Ocean Grove claimed the BPCA B1 Grade premiership defeating Barrabool at Armstrong Creek.
The Bulls won the toss and batted first with Nathan Findlay (25) and Hayden Bickett (52) putting on 49, but Craig Byron stepped up and took a flurry of wickets.
The left-arm seamer formed a formidable partnership with spinner Tom Kent with Barrabool all out for 119.
Byron took an impressive 6/45 from 24.2 immaculate overs while Kent’s 4/33 from 20 also proved pivotal.
At 3/46 in reply, Jacob Taylor and Luke Morrison (28) put together an important 50-run stand and when Taylor departed for a well-made 45, Ocean Grove was only five runs from victory with five wickets in hand.
MATTHEW Pratt starred in Queenscliff’s B2 win against Wallington.

Luke Adam then stepped in on day two to take 6/43 in dismissing the Wallabies for 165.
Damian Howsam (36), Tony Jones (33) and Ross Moreland (30) all spent time at the crease, but Walington needed one of them to go on and get a big one.
