Tumino knock leads Jindi over Neerim

Neerim's recent slide continued, as rivals Jindivick ensured they kept off the bottom of the ladder with a win.

Bowling first, James Maguire (3-13) and Jack Braddick (2-17) did the job with the new ball, while Mick Tumino (2-13) stymied the likes of John Fleming (31) to reduce Neerim to 107 all out.

In reply, Tumino (53) finished the job for the away side, as he and James Keogh (29) reeled in the score in a canter, winning by six wickets.

Western Park is within touching distance of the top four, with a solid victory over Yarragon.

Bowling first, the Warriors turned the screws on the Panthers, as the away side were unable to escape the likes of Stephen Briggs (3-10), Michael Rabl (2-13) and Kurtis Harper (2-36). Only Andy Trewern (35) could muster a score of substance.

Chasing 135, Western Park fell to 3-20. However, Briggs (55) and Rabl (52*) proved why they were the two best on the day, guiding Western Park home safely.

A stunning knock from Jack Jarred (65) saw Drouin tick off a win at Maryknoll on the weekend.

In reply, Garfield-Tynong were never in the hunt, as the in-form Adin Short (4-29) and Dylan Serong (2-23) routed the Titans, only a rally helping them to 136 all out, as Drouin climbed into the top two.

As predicted, top placed Catani demolished bottom placed Buln Buln at home on the weekend.

In reply, only club legend Jeff Walsh (44) added any sort of resistance, as George Zekic (4-21) and Mitchell Gregson (2-17) put a stranglehold on the Lyrebird's batting-order, the bottom-side batting out their overs to finish 8-96.

Warragul took the points in an even contest with Longwarry.
