Hawks put best foot forward

By CHRIS DEFINA

FOUR out of five wins went to the Monbulk Hawks on Saturday.
Unfortunately, it was the first XI that was defeated by Upwey.
The seconds defended their 249 with Chris Martin bowling beautifully.
The thirds got their outright win on the back of Evan Binding’s double hat-trick and Liam Mackin’s century last week.
The fourths won a high-scoring affair with Clayton Spooner making his highest score of 73 not out.
The Under 16s also won, defeating The Basin.
This is their sixth win and they sit second on the ladder.
Unfortunately, all of the Friday night juniors were washed out, and this round will be replayed on Wednesday 10 February.
1st XI – Upwey Tecoma 251 (D. McKay 3/33, C. Coen 3/70) defeated Monbulk 106.
2nd XI – Monbulk 9/249 (J. Simmonds 80, A. Gillard 46) d Upwey-Tecoma 170 (C. Martin 3/33)
3rd XI – Monbulk 3/246 dec. (L. Mackin 103no, D. Clark 59no) and 1/40 d (outright) Knoxfield 105 (Binding 4/6) and 170 (J. Dekkers 3/6)
4th XI – Monbulk 349 (C. Spooner 73, B. Badgery 65, T. Badgery 45, D. Williams 43, T. Marchetti 37) d Aura Vale 8/335.
U16s – Monbulk 6/105 (S. Bennett 18) d The Basin 3/91
