Bunbury and Districts Cricket Association competitions back in action after bye

The Bunbury and Districts Cricket Association will be back in action this weekend after a bye for The West Test last week, with a number of enticing men’s and women’s first-grade games slated for Saturday and Sunday. In the pick of the men’s first-grade games on Saturday, reigning premiers Colts will look to bounce back from their first loss of the season against third-placed Hay Park at Bunbury Recreation Ground. Both sides headed into the break on the back of defeats, with Colts suffering by six wickets at the hands of Marist and the Redbacks routed for just 67 with the bat in a nine-wicket thrashing from Leschenault. First-placed Dalyellup will head to Leschenault Recreation Ground to take on the Green Caps, with the visitors’ batting line-up which has posted two scores greater than 290 in their past three games looking to continue their hot form. Fourth-placed Marist will play sixth-placed Collie at Forrest Park in the final game of the round. Sunday will see a table-topping women’s first-grade clash between ladder leaders Leschenault and second-placed Colts at Bunbury Recreation Ground, while Donnybrook will look to continue some recent momentum against Marist at Egan Park in the other fixture.
