Sunbury’s winning streak came to an end in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association Steve McNamara Shield on Saturday. Chasing Gellibrand’s 9-193, the Roar was bowled out for just 105 in the 53rd over. Thomas King top scored with 22 but the rest of the order struggled. Number 10 Jack McGann (19 not out) and number 11, Jackson Treweek (20) fought hard, but it wasn’t enough. The Roar slipes to fourth heading into the final round. A win against PEGS will be enough to secure a finals spot.
