DISTRICT: DELACOMBE Park will host Somerville, and Pines will be at home to Main Ridge in the District semi-finals this weekend.

The Parkers will go into the finals having lost just one game this season and will be hot favourites to take out the major prize.

On Saturday, the team scored 8/204 batting first against Seaford.

Joel Malcolm, who has played only the four games since Christmas, hit form at the right time with 65, while Nick Christides (61) relished the opportunity of warming up for finals with a one-day match. Ben Brittain chimed in at the end with 36.

Geoff Smith bowled well for Seaford and took 5/31.

In reply, a number of Seaford batsmen got starts but couldn’t go on with it. Keeper David Anderson top-scored with 38 and Shane Fonseka made 28 in only his second match.

Chris Brittain snared 4/18 for the Parkers and Brett Chard continues to do his job, this time taking 2/19.

Main Ridge made light work of Ballam Park, belting 4/328 after winning the toss and batting first.

Ridge opening batsman Michael Holmes blasted 125 at the top of the order and Brad Rossborough continued his dominating form with an unbeaten 73.

The Main Ridge skipper has made 487 runs this season, 200 since Christmas. Ed Aarons and Gareth Wyatt were also among the runs with 59 and 49.

In reply, the Knights were bowled out for 179 in the 35th over. Matty Roach top-scored with 44 and Darren Johnson was next best with 32.

Scott Millar was the best of the Ridge bowlers with 5/54 and Tom Wilson helped himself to 3/65.

Somerville got the result it was looking for against Carrum with six overs to spare. Carrum won the toss and batted first at Somerville Reserve, making 9/170 from 40 overs.
The Eagles replied with 7/174 from 34 overs.

Flinders recorded an easy victory over Hastings. The Sharks batted first at B A Cairns Reserve and made an impressive 6/248 from its 40 overs.

Mitch Floyd was the pick of the Hastings bowlers with 3/58, giving him 17 wickets for the season.

When Hastings batted, it seemed Luke Hewitt (85) and Tim Birch (31) were going to get the visitors home, but when they lost their wickets, the side was bowled out 38 runs later for 211.

Somehow, Baden Powell was able to defend 6/110 against Boneo. Rhys Elmi top-scored for the Braves with 42 while Nathan Rice finished unbeaten on 24 after 40 overs.

In reply, Boneo was bowled out for 78 in the 34th over.

Brendan Jovic was superb for the Braves with 5/28 from eight overs, giving him 22 scalps for the season. Michael Ballard took 3/18.

Ballam Park will be relegated to Sub-district next season after finishing on the bottom of the table.
