Believe it or not, 64 wickets fell in the opening week of round 10 in WDCA last Saturday, with plenty of matches evenly-poised as finals fast approach.
Both Wangaratta and Yarrawonga-Mulwala were dismissed for 25 and 52, respectively, when they started at Mulwala last weekend, while Rovers United-Bruck could only muster 60 against a threatening Beechworth bowling attack.
Yarrawonga secured first innings points with their low total, while Beechworth passed Rovers United’s total two wickets down.
Incredibly, Ovens Valley United’s 173 was the highest score posted across the league and they will hope its enough to upset league leaders City Colts, who finished the day 0-3.
Greta will attempt to defend its tricky target of 137 against Benalla-Violet Town United, who got through last Saturday unscathed at 0-14.
The final game will see Delatite, who declared at 9-166, look to finish off their hard work, after leaving Benalla Bushrangers 3-10 at stumps last weekend.
