Hapless Brookers fail to fire

HOLBROOK has been crushed by arch rival Culcairn.

After claiming first innings points last weekend, the Lions pushed for an outright win on Saturday but just fell short in a dominant display.

Jamie Cooper (107) and Chris Willis (53) picked up from where they left off last week, with Cooper finally breaking through for a century after falling three runs short of a ton earlier in the season.

After tearing through Holbrook for just 44 last week, the Lions again troubled the Brookers with the ball.

Culcairn made 215 and had Holbrook at 6-51 at the close of play.

Justin Frohling (5-12) was again in lethal form.

Meanwhile, Henty (3-264) held off Osborne (244) by 20 runs.

Darren Howard fell six runs short of a ton in defeat after Grant Forrest made 114 not out on day one.
