All under 16 matches will be played as Twenty/20 fixtures next week.

The Bankers managed 7/90 from 28 overs with Hallora chasing the target down in the 23rd over.

All other first grade matches on Saturday were washed out.

Drouin accounted for Jindivick in a rain reduced division two match.

In a high-scoring affair, Drouin posted 6/177 before restricitn­g the Jumping Jacks to 8/133.

All other division two matches were washed out.

Western Park defeated Ellinbank in division three, the only match to garner a result.

Three matches commenced in the under 14s, with the remaining matches to be played as Twenty/20 matches next week.

Sunday proved to be a better day for cricket, with division one and division two playing a catch-up round due to the late start to the season.

Hallora’s first division team capped a successful weekend, beating the rain to secure two wins from two matches.

Play commenced in other matches before heavy rain late in the day saw more washouts.

Hallora, Drouin and Western Park each completed victories in second grade, while Longwarry was well placed in its match against Warragul before the rain came.
