Bashley (Rydal) left-hand opening batsman Fin Gordon, who announced his arrival in Australian grade cricket this autumn with a double century for Casey South Melbourne, starred again at the weekend.
He top scored with 79, hitting three sixes and six fours, as South Melbourne rattled up 203-6 in a VCA T20 match against Northcote at the Bill Lawry Oval. Gordon was prominent in a 133-run third wicket stand before taking 1-32 as Northcote replied with 170-7.
Hampshire's Dom Kelly took 3-33 for Melville, who dismissed WACA Premier opponents Claremont Nedlands for 262.
Basingstoke & North Hants batsman George Metzger made his best score yet of 87 (11 fours) as Newcastle City made 291-7 against Fletcha Middleton's Belmont, for whom Fair Oak spin all-rounder Conor Gibson took two wickets.
South Wilts raised Josh Croom took four wickets in each innings, finishing with match figures of 8-60 as Glenelg thrashed Adelaide rivals Southern Districts. Among his scalps was former St Cross Symondians fast bowler George O'Connor, who has so far taken 18 wickets this term.
Croom played for Cornwall champions Penzance last summer and was a losing Lord's finalist in the ECB national club championships. He may be tempted back to play locally in 2026.
Bournemouth's Ben Rogers hit a century as winless East Keilor totaled 247 in a basement duel with Pascoe Vale Hadfield.
Totton & Eling tailender Keegan Holzmann was the star as his adopted Geelong based club South Portland pulled off a victory over Casterton in the Hamilton District competition, a four-hour drive south-west of Melbourne.
He took five wickets at a personal cost of 34 runs as Casterton was dismissed for 90, a total South Portland trailed after losing seven cheap wickets. Enter Holzmann to hit an unbeaten 66 (one six and nine fours) in an unbroken century stand which saw South Portland to a match winning 202-7.
Former Hampshire Academy opener Sam Ashman continues to go well in the Hamilton League, with 493 runs and 16 wickets.
