Round two of the West Wimmera Cricket Association season featured a win by the reigning premiers in the match up of the teams from last season's grand final, and a close win to the Nhill Tigers which keeps them undefeated.
Winiam lost to Jeparit
At Winiam the home team had the opportunity to bat first, and made a strong start with openers Dylan Webb (22 runs) and Brodie Cramer (25) putting on a stand of 47 before the first wicket fell.
From this point the Jeparit bowlers took control of the innings and the remaining wickets all fell for just another 42 runs, leaving Winiam with a total of 89 runs to defend.
Justin Knorpp led the Jeparit bowling with four wickets for 13 runs, with Jack Crowhurst and Adrian King taking two each and Liam Preston one.
Jeparit also made a strong start to their innings, with Crowhurst making 13 of an opening stand of 36 with Jason Hutson (above) who went on to make 28.
Although the Redbacks endured a period in the middle of the innings where they lost three wickets for five runs when they were still thirty runs from the victory target, a partnership of 54 between Michael Preston (31) and Steven Leach (14) saw them past that total.
A quick undefeated 15 by Adrian King at the end of the innings took the total to 154 for the loss of 7 wickets at the end of the allocated overs.
Brayden Purchase, Brad Clark and Grant Eastwell all took two wickets each.
Nhill Tigers defeated Kiata
The Nhill Tigers remain undefeated after an 11 run victory over Kiata.
Batting first, the Tigers made 183 runs, with 53 from James Philip dominating the innings and useful contributions from Daniel Garoni (30), Ritchie Dodds (23), Ben Pollock (23) and Brady Alexander (22).
Six Kiata bowlers shared the wickets, with Shaun Alexander the best with 3 for 30. Liam Albrecht and Josh Cramer took two each.
Todd Alexander opened the Kiata innings and dominated the scoring with an unbeaten 66, and Trevor Polkinghorne contributed 40 and Josh Lees finished with 19 not out at the end of their 40 overs, but the team finished an agonising 11 runs short of the target.
Aaron Cramer took two wickets to be the only Nhill bowler to take more than one wicket.
