Collendina hit back with the ball after Drysdale made a superb start on day one of A2 Grade on Saturday.
Charlie Clode and Jason Malcolm gave the Hawks a super start with a 95-run opening stand.
Clode then fell to the nagging medium pace of Dean Britt for a well-made 51 from just 60 deliveries and Malcolm was stunningly caught at short gully by Richie Peters just after Noah Jeffrey was introduced for 36 from 82.
Britt and leg-spinner Jeffrey then tightened the screws on the Drysdale innings.
Only captain Nick Hallam dug in while his middle order succumbed. The Hawks lost five wickets for 18 runs during a tense period before tea was taken minutes early due to heavy rain.
Ben Spencer’s 19 from 17 balls probably won’t be spoken about much, but in the context of the day’s play, it was important.
He broke the shackles that Britt and Jeffrey were applying and with Hallam unbeaten on 46, Drysdale will enter day two on 8-184 with 20 overs still at its disposal before compulsory closure.
Despite the middle order collapse, the Hawks are still in the box seat for all six points.
Second gamer Monty Juffermans-Goodluck grabbed three wickets for Dina in a mature display while evergreen Britt also claimed three and teenager Jeffrey continued his rapid improvement with two.
Collendina made 149 in B2 Grade with Garry Wingrave (34) top scoring and Des Every (26) lending a hand.
Peter Davidson picked up 4-28 from 15 overs for Drysdale and Pat Brady claimed three Dina scalps.
Drysdale will resume on day at 14 without loss.
