Jordan Poole was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4/8 from eight overs while Cooper Anderson 1/12 and Oliver Poole 1/13 played pivotal roles for their team.

It took the visitors just 18.3 overs to eclipse their opponents total at 3/60 as Andrew Meijer dominated with a rapid fire score of 30 not out which clinched the Beagles third victory for the season.
A man of the match performance from Shaun Tweed enabled Jamberoo second grade to gain an important six wicket victory over arch rivals Gerringong at Gerry Emery Oval.
The hosts won the toss and chose to bat as they were confronted by a fierce Jamberoo bowling attack. Shaun Tweed produced one the greatest bowling performances in Jamberoo cricketing history as he took impressive figures of 7/21 off eight overs. Jacob Hudson 2/16 and James Ward 1/22 provided solid contributions as the Jets were bowled out for 109.
The visitors were certainly met with a few challenges during the beginning of their innings and were 3/32 before the Stokes brothers Kyle 38 and Adrian 27* guided the Bulls to victory with an excellent fourth wicket partnership of 58. Jamberoo completed the match at 4/111.
Third grade couldn’t produce an upset against competition leaders Kookas and fell victims to a five wicket loss at King Memorial Park on Saturday.
