Sunday Division 1 Premiers | Parkdale United

Parkdale United | 149/9                        Mentone | 148/9          Parkdale United won by one wicket

Jack Grut Reserve would host the closest on our Sunday finals, a one wicket thriller between Parkdale United and Mentone.

With Mentone batting first, plenty of starts in the top order had a large total in mind, however M Cooper (2/21) and B Ford (4/28) took wickets at regular intervals to keep the runs at bay. Some ducks and a run out in the middle order meant Mentone finished 148 from their 35 overs.

The second innings proved worthy of a Hollywood script, D Cross’s 4/15 and S O’Brien’s 3/26 decimated the top and middle order for Parkdale United. However, Brendon Ford (30*) would continue his good day, combining with number ten Jasmeet Singh (34*) to get Parkdale United home by one wicket.
