Round 2 of the Home Hill Cricket Association senior competition was the first opportunity of the season for Crowned Mongrels to come up against Peto’s Marine, with Peto’s Marine winning the toss and electing to bat first.
Openers Simon Vickers and Brad Parravicini got the batting side off to a great start, falling for 46 off 29 and 32 off 37 respectively.
The rest of the order struggled to find runs, however, with Shaun Goldsworthy the only other batsman to reach double figures with 12 runs of 22 balls and a handy 9 off 24 from Darcy Walters, seeing Peto’s Marine to a total of 134 runs.
Adam Camer, Scott Hazard and Alex Stillhard all shone with the ball for Crowned Mongrels, all taking three wickets each while Nicholas Pengelly took one.
Crowned Mongrels’ run chase was off to a rocky start with an early wicket, but opener Jaidyn Lambie-Fabbro and number three batsman Alex Stillhard steadied the ship with a respective 19 off 12 and 15 off 17 before Andrew Wallwork contributed a mighty 48 from 45 balls.
Casper Licciardello and Adam Camer also contributed with 17 from 36 and 11 from 10, steering the Mongrels to a match winning 9/171 from their 35 overs.
Simon Vickers, Brad Parravicini and Mark Nosworthy all took two wickets each for Peto's Marine and Leon Franklin, Salvatore Cardillo and Daniel Olditch took one.
Crowned Mongrels will take on round one victors Guardian Pharmacy in this weekend’s clash at Barry Richards Field.
