Nic Hill anchors Euroa to 7/101 before rain stops play

A GRADE EUROA A Grade team faced Mooroopna at the Friendlies Oval, with Captain Scott Hamilton winning the toss and opting to bat first. Euroa encountered early difficulties, losing three wickets for 21 runs within the initial ten overs. Nic Hill and Scott Hamilton established a 43-run partnership before Hamilton was dismissed for 21 runs. Subsequently, Hill and Shammy continued to build the score until Hill was dismissed after scoring 31 runs. The match was interrupted by a storm, resulting in the day's play being called off. Euroa is set to resume next week at 7-101. SCORECARD: Euroa 7/101 (N. Hil 33, S Hamilton 21) off 34.5 overs v Mooroopna E GRADE EUROA travelled to Vibert Reserve for their Round nine match of the E Grade season against Karramomus. Captain Connor McCombe won the toss and chose to bat first. Euroa's innings began with an initial setback, losing three wickets for 20 runs within the first eight overs. Ben Jones and Mitch Gleeson then took on the responsibility of stabilising Euroa's innings by forming a 64-run partnership. Including eight fours and two sixes, before Jones was dismissed for 37 runs. Gleeson followed a few overs later, departing for 35 runs. Although Euroa continued to accumulate runs, they also experienced regular wicket losses, ultimately culminating in being all out for 159 runs in the 37th over. With 160 runs to defend, Euroa faced a challenging start in the first half of the run chase as Karramomus reached the drinks break at 0-72. The breakthrough did not come until the 23rd over when Cooper Goodall secured a wicket, caught by Jones behind the stumps. Shortly thereafter, Leo Murphy delivered a spinning ball that disrupted the stumps, marking his first wicket of the game. Jack Wilson added to the wickets column by delivering a wide ball that was hit straight to Dion Grant. The turning point occurred in the 35th over, beginning with a mix-up at the striker's end that allowed Wilson to execute an easy runout, followed by Leo catching a ball at mid-off, giving Jack his second wicket. In the 37th over, Paddy Murphy executed a remarkable runout, and in the subsequent over, Leo claimed his second wicket. Despite these efforts, Karramomus ultimately won the game, successfully chasing the total with seven balls remaining. Euroa has another away game next week at Kialla against Old Students with the first ball at 12:30pm. SCORECARD: Euroa 159 (B Jones 37, M Gleeson 35) def by Karramomus 7-160 (L Murphy 2-23, J Wilson 2-26)
