Macedon has claimed the Gisborne and District Cricket Association women’s premiership without a ball being bowled in the grand final on Sunday. Set to face Lancefield Black in the grand final, mist and a wet pitch from heavy rain, meant the game couldn’t go ahead. The Cats were awarded the premiership, after finishing the regular season the higher of the two teams. It’s the first season the Cats have had a women’s side. Their under-17 girls teams also made the grand final.
Bowls
Sunbury went two from two on the weekend in Bowls Victoria Pennant division 1, section 1. On Saturday, Sunbury beat Essendon at Sunbury. Despite winning just one rink, Sunbury won 86 (13)-82 (5).
