Alexandra was off to a positive start through Scott Whitehead (36) and Nathan Waugh (16) but were unable to gain enough momentum to get on top of Avenel who got over the line by 10 runs.

There was an upset at Chittick Park on Saturday with Pyalong getting the win over the Maroons.

Despite some wobbles with the bat Tallarook has consolidated its position at the top of the Seymour Club A Grade ladder following a comfortable win over Puckapunyal.

Andrew Dundon got Tallarook off to a positive start before Ciaran Fountain claimed his scalp and found himself on a hat trick as he ripped through the middle order.

Yet again it was Lachlan Watts who steadied the ship, crafting a classy 55 off 40 balls including six fours and a six. Ciaran Fountain finished the innings with the solid figures of 4/15.

Puckapunyal was out of the game early, slumping to 5/35, only Ciaran Fountain showing promise with the bat in his innings of 30. An even bowling performance from Tallarook saw them get over the line by 38 runs with Lachlan Watts the only multiple wicket taker.
