A GRADE EUROA A Grade travelled to Shepparton East to face Central Park/St. Brendan’s in Round five of the Haisman Shield. Captain Scott Hamilton won the toss and elected to bat first. The Euroa innings started slowly, faltering early by losing 2-6 within the first eight overs. Despite the shaky start, Nic Hill and Josh Robertson offered a brief resistance, putting together a partnership of 31 runs. However, the wickets continued to tumble around them, and Euroa struggled to find stability. Ultimately, the team collapsed, losing 6-11 and being bowled out for 69 runs within 39.3 overs. With only 70 to defend, Cohen Paul turned the game on its head by taking two wickets in the opening over. His electrifying start provided a glimmer of hope for Euroa, as the visitors early breakthroughs left Central Park/St. Brendan’s reeling. Despite Paul's valiant efforts and a few more disciplined bowling spells, the hosts managed to regroup and chase down the modest target in just 16 overs. Euroa’s next game is against Old Students starting on Saturday at 12:30pm at the Friendlies.
