THE ALL-CONQUERING Boort Yando juniors have completed a sensational outright win over Wedderburn Band, skittling their opponents for 25 in their second innings.
The Magpies knocked over the Band for just 21 in their first hit and belted 252 in response.
It was more of the same for the outclassed Wedderburn youngsters, with six players making ducks – three of them golden.
The Band’s 10 wickets fell for 10 runs after a 15-run opening partnership from Blake Hartnell (8) and Edwin Sellick (3), including five wickets for one run after the opening stand.
Jake O’Flaherty, who took a hat-trick in the seniors against Kingower last week, grabbed another 2-7.
Jacob Malone collected 3-1, Deklan King took 2-0 and Owen Byrne took 2-5 as Boort won outright by 202 runs.
Kingower’s imposing 2-253 proved too much for Bridgwater Bulls, who managed 7-132 in response, which included a remarkable 45 extras.
Opener Lewis Lonsdale made 24 to top score for the Bulls, with Xavier Power (retired not out 22) and Nate Harrison (17 not out) providing good support.
Six bowlers took wickets for Kingower, with Flynn Lonza capturing 2-21.
One two-day round remains before finals, with Boort Yando hosting Bridgewater and Wedderburn Band at home to Kingower.
