Hoppers Crossing faces an almighty task to finish off the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division season on a high note.
The Cats were set an imposing 274 for victory by visiting Bentleigh at Hogans Road Reserve on Saturday – not the kind of target that bodes well for a side with the least amount of runs in the competition this season.
The Cats found it hard to contain Bentleigh openers Robert Ciccarella (80) and captain Greg Todd (73).
Darrel Brown (2-74), Dinesh Daminda (2-49) and Sanka Abeyruwan (2-38) snared two wickets apiece for the Cats.
Irrespective of the result, the Cats will remain in the senior division next year, despite a rollercoaster season.
