Confidence boost for Cats
MORTLAKE’S division one cricketers notched up win number three in front of a home crowd last weekend.
The Cats won the toss and sent visitors Norther Raiders in to bat on Saturday.
Clinton Baker proved handy at the crease, taking 4/27 off his nine overs while two weeks apiece fell to Todd Robertson and Jack Lehmann.
A solid performance in the outfield saw the visitors contained to 10/102 in the 38th over.
In return, the Cats surpassed the total in the 36th over, reaching 6/103 with Baker again effective, finishing the day unbeaten on 27 while Jack Lehmann added 23 to the scoreboard and opener Corey Rounds caught for 15 the only three to reach double figures.
The Cats will now take a break over the Christmas period, with round 12 scheduled for Saturday January 6 – when the Cats will head to Southcombe Park to take on Port Fairy.
