Collendina is the only undefeated BPCA A2 Grade team after another convincing performance on Saturday October 28.

The Cobras had little trouble against competition newcomers Surfcoast at Grenville Oval, Torquay.

Batting first the Stingrays were all out for 75 inside 30 overs with Corey Walter the pick of the bowlers with 3/14 from eight overs while Stan Grazotis came on late to pick up three wickets.

Walter then made sure of the victory, making 34 from 44 balls with Collendina passing the total three wickets down in the 23rd over.

The Cobras meet Wallington next round as the two-day stuff begins.

A 208-run opening stand between Barwon Heads batters Tony Mirabella and Ben McCredden was the highlight of Collendina’s B2 Grade clash.

Mirabella spanked 12 fours and a whopping 13 sixes on his way to 146 from just 87 balls while McCredden 95 off 114 in the total of 5/316 from 40 overs at Collendina Recreation Reserve. Matt Bode made a breezy 38 not out.

Jackson de Jong bowled superbly for the Snakes to take 4/43 from seven overs on a day that didn’t favour the trundlers at all. Zach Muir also bowled well, conceding just 17 runs from his eight overs.

The Cobras fell well short batting second, making 6/167 with Ricky Hynson getting 67 and Des Every 43 while youngster Jesse Bode took three wickets for the Seagulls.

Jack Wood was the star with the bat for Collendina in D Grade with a well-made 61 in final total of 8/174 against Surfcoast.

The Stingrays chased the target down in 35 overs with Craig Atkins and Chris Pitfield taking two wickets each.

C Grade had a bye and will meet Armstrong Creek over the next two Saturdays.
