Shelford played hosts to Corio Cricket Club. Captain Mick Lymer won the toss and elected to bat. Luke Turner and Jack Maclean opened as usual. Jack the first to go on 13, Luke shortly after on 9. Shane Lymer made a quick fire 29 before being caught. Enter Jack Connelly fresh from Lambys Sunday night. He come in and put on display of hard hitting finishing with a quick 56 from 41 balls which included 6 fours and 1 six. Ben Muir (3), Ricky Kennedy (0) and Ben Turner (11) were nest to go. Mick Lymer showed some fight at the end for a quick 26. Kirk Matheson fell for a golden duck. Scott Baumann (5 not out) and Jayden Ettridge (3 not out) closed out the 20 overs for us with a final total of 9/169 Corio got off to a flying start and had the boys on the ropes early. After 8 overs they were sitting on 1/70 and well on target to chase down the runs. Jayden (2 for 20) picked up a couple of wickets to slow things down before Shane Lymer (1 for 15) picked up the key wicket which slowed the run chase down. However the star with the ball and probably man of the match Ben Turner finished the job, ending the night with figures of 4 for 6 off 2 overs. He would have had 5 for 5 off 2 overs, had it not been for Ben Muirs soda that he dropped at first slip. Others to get wickets were Mick Lymer 1/34 and Scott Baumann 1/5. Corio were all out for 109 with 3 overs to spare. A good couple of days for the Shelford Bullants. 3 wins from 3 games. This week the firsts play Bell Park at Shelford. The thirds play Bell Park at Bell Park Good luck, GO BULLANTS
