Bogan Gate celebrates 16th Grinsted win

Bogan Gate took on Grenfell on Sunday, 9 March for the Grinsted Cup and came away with another victory - their 16th in a row.

Bowling first, Grenfell put pressure on Bogan Gate with 3/29 off 18 overs, making the Bogan Gate squad nervous.

Opening batsman Paul Dunford, who’s had a stellar few weeks, was out with a LBW without troubling the scorer to the bowling of H Starr.

But a 159 run partnership between Ryan Dunford and Tom Caldwell made all the difference before Ryan fell for 88.

Bogan Gate were able to finish batting with the strong score of 5/257.

Caldwell was 97 and not out at the end of the innings.

Peter Thomas was 22 not out.

Grenfell sent C Mitton and B Edwards to the centre to chase down the runs but Bogan Gate was quick to strike.

Andrew Britt (2/20 off eight overs) took the first to see Grenfell 1/7 in the second over.

Edwards held on for 25 and was the best with the bat for Grenfell, having also taken three wickets for 63 when bowling.

A Beasley was the only other Grenfell batsman to reach double figures as Bogan Gate showed their dominance of the competition.

Grenfell were bowled out for 68.

Tom Caldwell took 2/14 off five overs.

Jack Dunford, Paul Dunford and Brett Smith took a wicket apiece.

The next challenge scheduled for 16 March will be against West Wyalong.
