Premier C Grade- Moe v Glengarry 

First two previous meetings took pace last season following the remainder of the former TDCA clubs joining the league, Moe winning one comfortably and the other unfortunately by forfeit. Glengarry won the toss and sent the Lions in. All three grades of Moe fixtures yesterday saw the winner of the toss (twice opposition, once Moe) elect to bowl.

Moe Innings

Matt Burridge (7) & Ryley Semmens (8) fell for single figures, but supported Robert Straughair in getting the total to 2/50 before Semmens was second dismissed. Both fell to J.Dwyer. With his 6th run of the day, Straughair notched up 3500 senior club runs for Moe. Congrats Randy!

Straughair & Craig Veenman put on 108 for the 3rd wicket, before Veenman (61) became Dwyer’s third scalp for the day. David Biggins (10) & Brady Cake (7*) supported Straughair through to the innings close of 4/206 from the allotted 40 overs. Straughair ran out of overs chasing down his second Moe CC ton, finishing unbeaten on 85*. Dwyer took 3/38 off his 8 whilst Hodson was extremely economical, taking 1/10, also off 8. Excluding Hodson, the Lions took 196 off the other 32 overs at slight better than a run a ball (192 deliveries).

The Magpies never looked in the chase. It was a slow burn as they were all out for 64, almost batting 31 overs in doing so. Only the openers Joy Lawrence (15) & Cooper Burslem (14) reached double figures. 

David Biggins took 3/8 (6) for Moe, with Frank Manduci (2/14 off 5) edging closer to his 250 wicket goal. Ryley Semmens took 2/4 off 1.5 and got a run out. Singles to Ron Whitney (1/3 off 3) & a surprise bowler, President Paul Kane (1/11 off 3). Thanks to our secretary and racecourse curator Ian Simpson for filling in for C’s to have a full side, his first game for about 8 years. Returns in a win.

Premier C Grade has a league-wide bye for Melbourne Cup weekend before facing Morwell away the following week.
