“If you had said that to me at the start of the match, I would have said you’re kidding,” he said.

“I was probably working on anything 220 or under, I thought it would be a good starting point, but fell credit to our blokes, they bowled really well.”

Wodonga suffered a monumental blow when coach Robbie Jackson didn’t play after injuring his calf a month ago.

But the home team has long prided itself on its depth.

However, North’s attack has now recently dismissed Wodonga cheaply twice, after just 104 in the final round.

Number seven Jack Gilbee top-scored with an unbeaten 43, while captain Jack Craig made 42.

Off-spinner John Purtell, who spent the first half of the season in second grade, claimed 4-26, while fellow offie Ash Hulme snared 3-25 after six last week.

Greg Daniel hit 49 not out in the five-wicket win.
