Finals race on

The race for finals spots in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association McIntyre Cup will go down to the wire.

Woodend and Gisborne seem set in the top two spots, while Romsey gave its hopes no harm with a big win against Broadford on Saturday.

Sunbury United moved into the top four with a win on Saturday against Macedon, while Rupertswood slipped to fifth after a loss.

Romsey and Sunbury United were the big winners out of the weekend’s matches.

Romsey had made 227 on day one of its match with Broadford.

On Saturday, Broadford never really got going with the bat as it struggled to put together some decent partnerships.

Romsey was 3-115 in its second innings.

Sunbury United came away with the points against Macedon in its match after a big first day with the bat.

Macedon pushed the total of 7-302 with import Alex Browne starring with 112 off 100 balls.

The Cats showed some resistance in the lower order, but were bowled out for 286.

Gary De Rosayro scored 66 not out coming in at number eight.

James Hughes took four wickets for the Bees.

Meanwhile, Rupertswood’s finals hopes suffered a blow with a loss to ladder leader Woodend.

Needing 206, Rupo was bowled out for 113. Cameron Bruce scored 51, with the next best 17.

Woodend finished its second innings at 3-160.

Rupo faces Gisborne in the final round and will now need other results to go its way to finish in the top four.

In the other match, Gisborne had a day out with the bat against the Sunbury Kangaroos.

The Kangaroos had made 172 on day one, with the Dragons batting throughout day two to finish with 425.
