SOMERVILLE and Pines finished all square after an epic encounter on Saturday.
After losing the toss, Somerville were sent in to bat first. Good knocks from opener Craig Black and number four Bradley McDonald helped guide the side to a final total of 143.
Pines’ run chase started poorly, with usually reliable openers Damien Lawrence and Ricky Ramsdale dismissed for scores of 11 and zero respectively.
Harley Peace-Stirling came in after the openers and got things back on track. After a duck in his innings last week against Flinders, Peace-Stirling was out to make amends. The first drop batsman blasted 66 runs.

Somerville net the Sharks, Dromana prevail, Seaford let it slip, Sorrento slide in for a win Picture: Andrew Hurst
A GREAT performance by Somerville’s batsmen got them a win over Flinders on Saturday.
Somerville looked comfortable out in the middle, and set a huge total. Opener Brenton Alp and number four Bradley McDonald top scored with scores of 83 and 85 not out respectively.
Flinders worked hard to get within reach of a target of 282, but fell short. A middle order collapse proved costly, and they ended up all out for 229.
Flinders opener Kane Hawkins can hold his head high after scoring a half century.

Just enough: Dromana hit the winning runs with just three balls to spare in their clash against Pearcedale.

AUSTRALIA DAY
Recognising the hurt and pain of our First Peoples
It was probably hard for Scott Morrison’s convict ancestor, who was transported for stealing yarn, and other British convicts (The Age, 22/1). However, it is the height of irony for a man of such power and status to compare this to the dispossession, cruelty and loss of life, family structure and culture experienced by Indigenous people in Australia which has resulted in well-documented intergenerational trauma.
