Evans bags five

Stags struggle
Neerim District 10/136 vs Drouin 1/37 A second six-wicket haul to Drouin’s Stephen Bleazby sees the Hawks with the upper hand at the end of day one.
Choosing to bat first the Stags struggled to get going with Bruce Freeman (23) the only show of resistance as Bleazby (6/32),
Cameron Caddy (2/14), and Brad Cross (2/32) plied their trade to great effect.
