Cricket: weekend results for Cockburn, Fremantle teams

Jessica NicoCockburn Gazette

FREMANTLE is in the box seat to record a win in their first two-day match of the 2018-19 WA Premier Cricket season.

Hosting Wanneroo at Stevens Reserve, Fremantle won the toss and elected to bat first but their innings got off to a shaky start when first Jake Carder (3) then Matthew Micale (5) and Sam Whiteman (9) were dismissed cheaply to have the team struggling at 3-24.

The middle order solidified the shaky start and a team high 49 runs to Chris Davenport, as well as a strong captain’s knock from Ashton Turner, helped guide Fremantle to a total of 162.

It was a small total to defend but Fremantle’s bowling attack was ruthless, taking 5-30 before stumps were called on day one.

Jhye Richardson did all of the damage with the ball, nabbing 4-16 which included a hat-trick, while Josh Chojnowski took the other wicket.

The game will continue from 11.40am on October 27.

Four local teams in the South Metropolitan Cricket Association also started their first two-day match this weekend.

After losing the toss and being sent in to bat, Hilton Palmyra lost their first two wickets before putting a run on the board.

Harry Grigson was the top scorer with 25 runs, while Phoenix’s Ronson Babu and Alec Alexander Lacey took seven wickets between them.

At stumps Phoenix were 1-35 in response.

East Fremantle also batted first in their game against CBC but faired better, with a strong start from the top four making up for a tail collapse to help them to a total of 158.

Danial Johannesen top scored with 45 runs.

CBC were 0-31 at stumps.

A half century from Steven Goodall (52 not out) helped Cockburn to 8-134 in their match against the SJ Blues.

All three SMCA games will continue from 1pm on October 27.
