TYABB continued its big move on Saturday with a commanding win against second placed Ballam Park in MPCA Sub District cricket.

After scoring 9/270 with Jarrod White (72), Michael Edwards (50) and Nick Taranto (54) all dominating, the Yabbies set about defending the total.
When Tyabb’s Jai Gleeson picked up Stuart Plunkett for a duck, the Knights were in all sorts of trouble. Gleeson finished with the impressive figures of 4/37 from 18 overs, including eight maidens.
Steve Worthington was outstanding for the Knights with a team-high 55.
Hastings extended its lead at the top of the ladder with a 49-run win against Carrum.
