Lakes Entrance went down to Paynesville in a high-scoring “B” grade match at St Brendan’s Primary School, despite having only nine players.
Batting first the Seagulls were bowled out in the final over for a competitive 148, highlighted by 56 from skipper Jacob Daly, and supporting knocks from son James (20) and Tully Davis (24).
Lakes Entrance was well placed at 3-128, but disastrously lost 5/20.
In reply, Paynesville looked in dire straits at 7/60 after James Daly (4/33) and Eddie Di Fiore (2/45) ripped through the top order, but an unbeaten partnership between Harry Singh (63) and Liam Richards (13), saw the Gulls home with 12 overs to spare.
This week’s match is against Buchan at the Buchan Recreation Reserve.
