WYNDHAMVALE has made a strong start against Grand United in the Williamstown and District Cricket Association A1 turf blockbuster at Parsons Reserve.
The Falcons had a consistent performance from their line-up to compile 231 off 76.3 overs.
A week earlier, opener Andrew Ford was playing in the A-mats, but he had no trouble adapting to the turf wicket en route to a top score of 75.
First drop Lance MacDougall carved out 46 and the inform Lee Veal made 26.
The second-placed Falcons will be desperate for victory to maintain their pursuit of a home semi-final.
Bellbridge is well positioned in its B1 turf clash with lowly West Newport.
Wests could muster only 177 after Andrew Wilks (4-40) and Steve Nolan (3-20) ripped through the order. Bellbridge is 2-17 in reply.
