BAYSWATER-Morley’s Premier Cricket finals hopes will go on the line on Saturday when they host fellow top-six contenders Melville at Hillcrest Lower Oval from 11am.
The Bears claimed a win and a loss in last weekend’s double one-day fixtures, which marked the return of Premier Cricket after the two-week Christmas break.
The result left Bayswater-Morley in 11th spot on the ladder after 10 rounds, 14 points outside the top six.
This weekend’s opponents Melville are eighth, six points ahead of Bayswater-Morley, meaning the clash is a must-win for both clubs, with six points up for grabs.
