VTCA: Point Cook already first innings winners

Point Cook sealed first innings points over Newport-Digman Bulls on day one of its Victorian Turf Cricket Association west B1 clash at the Bryan Martyn Oval on Saturday.

The Warriors are top of the division ladder but have been far from consistent.

One constant has remained, however: the white-hot form of opening bowler Troy Semmens, who took 6-47 in 17.4 overs to have the Bulls all out for 86.

Warriors skipper Travis Bean needed just two bowlers, Semmens bowling unchanged with Chris Kavanagh, who took 4-37. The Warriors passed the target six down and had built a 45-run lead by stumps.

Wyndhamvale will have to make an even 250 to beat in-form Seabrook at Wyndhamvale Reserve.

In senior division, Hoppers Crossing has already encountered a banana peel in its chase for South Caulfield’s 251, limping to stumps on 2-6.

In north A1, Werribee Centrals are 2-28 in reply to Youlden Parkville’s 223.
