Canowindra struck some good form with the bat as they beat Grenfell in their under 14s match on Saturday.

Their total of 167 proved 40 runs too many for the opposition.

Rohan Toole (31), Bailey Cain (28), Tim Middleton (23), Alex Willson (23) and Jack Beath (18) all took a liking to the Grenfell bowlers.

Toole and Middleton laid the platform with a 76-run first wicket partnership, which was backed up by Cain and Beath, who flourished at the bottom of the order.

Canowindra did ride their luck, though, as the Grenfell fielders had a severe case of butterfingers.

Henry Hunt led the run chase with 30 before retiring.

But it was Canowindra’s bowling which proved the difference as they restricted the Grenfell scoring to 127.

Alex Willson was the best of the bowlers with 1-3 off three overs.

Eagle Boys chase down total

Eagle Boys won an exciting game against Cowra Cash chasing down the 83 required for victory.

Alex Webster (12) and Lucas Hayes (12) top the scoring for Cowra Cash after they batted first, but it was the 26 sundries which was the greatest contributor to the overall total.

Brandon Vickary (2-11) took the only wickets to fall to a bowler.

Cameron Edgar (24) led the reply for Eagle Boys at the top of the order, while Sam Bowen (12), John Clarke (11) and Brad Napoli (10) also had useful contributions.

Kalin Farrell-Gray was the best of the bowlers for Cowra Cash with 2-12.

Cowra Trophies got off to a bad start with Brooks and Nathan Leach having them 3-8 after six overs.
