Tim SlaterWeekend Kwinana Courier

Willetton were sent in to bat and were all out for 138 from 38 overs after some outstanding bowling from Dion Cole-Parkhill (3-41) and Geoff Perera (2-15).

Kwinana lost early wickets but a middle order consolidation allowed the team to pass Willetton’s total and some great late order hitting from Amardeep Gill (62) saw Kwinana make 242 to record a comfortable win.

A return to form from Dwain Fernandez was not enough for the 2nd grade XI to beat the Willetton Crows.
