The Knights, currently sitting fourth, are now two points clear of the fifth-placed Boorcan after defeating the Dragons in a low-scoring affair last weekend.

Having won the toss and elected to bowl on Saturday, the Knights restricted the visitors to just 10/44 after 21 overs.

Simon Murfett was the best of the bowlers, finishing the innings with figures of 3/24 from eight overs, while Parker Walsh took 2/4 from six and Angus Uwland 2/10 from five.

Darcy Meade also claimed a scalp, taking 1/2 from two overs.

In reply the Knights were quick to score the required runs, reaching 1/45 in the 11th over.

Opener Campbell Walsh was unbeaten on 20 from 32 deliveries (including two boundaries) and was well supported by Jonty Robertson (13) and Edmund Walsh not out on four.

Round 13 this weekend will see the Knights at home to Camperdown Lakers before taking on Woorndoo for the final round before finals on Saturday, February 22.
