Sandhurst picked up hard fought victories in both the First & Third Xi's in Round 7 Action of BDCA. The Firsts unleashed in the latter stages of their batting innings to post 5 for 196. After a promising start Bendigo Collapsed to fall 7 runs short of victory. Stars were Matt Pask (42 & 2 wickets) for his all-round effort, Mark Holland 55no & Dylan Gibson 3 wickets.
The Seconds were again disappointing posting only 9/129 from their 45 overs. In reply Bendigo chased down The total by 6 wickets in the 43rd over. No batsman passed 30 and their were no multiple wicket takers.
The thirds came out on top in a high scoring affair, set 163 to win from 25 overs, Polson, Trew, Schneider and Felini saw them into a strong position in the run chase before Jayden Saunders scrambled the winning single from the 4th ball of the final over.
As they say..... Two out of Three Ain't Bad!
