THE final round of the Seymour District Cricket Association was held over the weekend, with big scoring the order of the day.<\/p>\n
In Seymour Club A grade, Tallarook had a positive finish to 2025 with a nine-wicket victory over Alexandra at Tallarook Recreation Reserve, keeping it on pace with Seymour on top of the ladder.<\/p>\n
Samuel Manchester dominated with the ball, taking 4\/25 off nine overs, while Matthew Archibald took 3\/21 off nine, as Alexandra could only muster 9\/96 off its 45 overs.<\/p>\n
In response, Tallarook only needed 19 overs to finish the job, scoring 1\/100, with Joshua Rudge unbeaten on 28 and Lachlan Watts desperately close to a half-century on 48.<\/p>\n
Puckapunyal was no match for Yea, losing by 73 runs at home.<\/p>\n
Yea was well served by five batsmen scoring over 25 runs in making 6\/217, led by Cameron Armstrong\u2019s unbeaten 53.<\/p>\n
Charles Davies and Danny Fountain provided some resistance for Pucka, taking two wickets apiece, with Davies taking 2\/15, and Fountain 2\/29.<\/p>\n
Puckapunyal never truly recovered from sitting 4\/40 when it was its time to bat, although Davies continued his superb individual match with a run-a-ball 73.<\/p>\n
In the end, however, Pucka was bowled out for 144.<\/p>\n
At the time of production, no result was entered for Pyalong\u2019s match against Avenel at Pyalong Recreation Reserve.<\/p>\n
It was also a similar case for the B grade game at Avenel Recreation Reserve.<\/p>\n
Puckapunyal\u2019s B grade team will sit atop the ladder at Christmas, courtesy of a six-wicket win over Yea.<\/p>\n
Jacob Nipperess was all over Yea\u2019s batting order, and took 6\/19 off 8.2 overs, making a mess of the Tigers\u2019 top order. Only Tayte Hoefchen\u2019s 63 provided resistance as Yea was bowled out for 111.<\/p>\n
In response, Shane Chisholm scored 57 to help Pucka chase down the target in 24 overs.<\/p>\n
Tallarook narrowly missed out on scoring a win over Alexandra, falling short by four runs.<\/p>\n
Tallarook looked to be in a good position as it bowled Alexandra out for 118, with Ben Trezise taking 2\/10 and Finn Melville taking 2\/14.<\/p>\n
With the bat, Tallarook did not have a great start, but key middle-order runs from Brendan O\u2019Donnell (20), Aiden Winnell (20) and Pasquale Schipano (24) helped Tallarook close in. However, it was bowled out for 114, just four runs short.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE final round of the Seymour District Cricket Association was held over the weekend, with big scoring the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364752,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-364751","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364751\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
