Chasing the premier’s paltry 95, the home team looked in trouble at 5-53.
“Look, it certainly did, they’re a very strong side so when they get a run-on, they’re very dangerous,” vice-captain Jacob Schonafinger said.
“But lucky enough the middle order was able to stabilise our innings.”
Opener Luke Whitten was the key as he was the last man out for 46, as the team posted 118.
Scoring was painfully slow, with 213 runs from 134.2 overs, at an average of 1.6.
‘The wicket played fine, it was just hard to turn the strike over because the outfield was quite thick, so it was hard to hit boundaries,” Schonafinger said.
Elsewhere, Beechworth defended 288 against Benalla Violet Town United, which made 151.
Greta was skittled for 105 against Delatite, Ovens Valley United managed just 93 in reply to Magpies’ 138, and Corowa fell 43 runs short of Benalla Bushrangers’ 208.
