Gisborne is a team in a hurry in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association McIntyre Cup Premier Firsts competition.
The Dragons have wasted little time in their opening two matches, chasing down low targets.
After restricting Woodend to 84 in the opening round, before chasing it down with the loss of no wickets, the Dragons were in a similar mode on Saturday against Romsey.
The Dragons bowled Romsey out for 93, with Damien Devlin (30) the only batsman to pass 16.
Dragons’ import Recordo Gordon tore through the top order, taking 4-17 and being involved in a run out.
Jay King took 2-9.
The Dragons needed just 16.2 overs to get the job done with the bat, finishing 2-96.
Jakson Knight got a second successive 50, making 60 before going out with the win in sight.
Jason Wilson finished 28 not out.
Darin Jewell and Matthew Hoyt took the wickets for Romsey.
The Dragons are one of two teams undefeated after two rounds, the other team is reigning premier Bacchus Marsh.
The Dragons sit on top of the ladder with a better percentage.
Romsey is sitting fourth, one of four teams to have a 1-1 record.
Romsey this week hosts Woodend, while Gisborne plays Diggers Rest Bulla.
Bacchus Marsh, Woodend and Diggers Rest Bulla were the other winners at the weekend.
