Rain cancels senior cricket
ALL four of Heytesbury-Princetown’s senior teams had their matches abandoned due to rain on Saturday.
In the division one premier division, the Storm won the toss and elected to bat first against Pomborneit at the Timboon Recreation Reserve.
Openers Hamish Huffadine and captain Matthew Love took the score briskly to 44 before Huffadine was caught off the bowling of Tharaka Sendanayake from 24 from 30 balls.
Love and Simon Harkness took the score to 72 before Harkness was caught behind for 14.
The Storm then had a mini collapse, reduced to 5/91 with three more quick wickets.
After 32 overs Heytesbury-Princetown was 5/103 when the rain set in and play was called off.
This week the Storm are at home again, hosting Simpson at the Timboon Recreation Reserve.
