Big win for Knights
COBDEN Knights have celeb-rated its first division one win of the South West Cricket 2024-25 season.
Round four last Saturday saw the Knights travel to Woorndoo to take on the Tigers.
Winning the toss and electing to bat first, the visitors posted a handy 5/305 after 50 overs.
Captain Johno Benallack put on a great display with the bat, positing 90 runs from 71 deliveries before being caught out.
His innings included six boundaries and three sixes.
He was well supported by vice-captain Matthew Kemp who reached 86 off 108 balls, which included eight boundaries.
Opener Matthew Boyle contributed a handy 45 runs while Matt Clarke was unbeaten on 29 and Edmund Walsh 21 not out.
Chasing a big total, Woorndoo fell short, reaching just 10/83 in the 32nd over thanks to some accurate work in the field by the Knights.
Matthew Harkin was the best of the Cobden bowlers, finishing the day with figures of 4/15 from eight overs while Matt Clarke took 2/20 from six.
Other wickets went to Parker Walsh 1/19, Darcy Meade 1/14 and Jonty Robertson 1/14.
This weekend will see the Knights take on Ecklin at the Ecklin Recreation Reserve.
