Wandering move clear in third spot after defeating Pingelly-Noonebin while two fixtures were abandoned

Wandering moved clear in third spot after round 11 of the Upper Great Southern Cricket Association in which only one game was completed on Saturday. Wandering defeated Pingelly-Noonebin by eight wickets in Pingelly, while the other two fixtures were abandoned because of rain. Pingelly-Noonebin made 7-123 from their 45 overs before Wandering comfortably chased down the target. A brilliant century partnership from Jacob Schorer and Bryan Hardie guided their side to victory. The pair shared in a 108-run stand before Schorer was caught for a well-made 56. Hardie fell not long after for 46 but the damage had already been done as Wandering cruised to an eight-wicket win in just 22 overs. Troy Warburton finished the innings off with 20 not out. Michael Allen claimed the only two wickets for Pingelly-Noonebin, returning 2-13. In the Pingelly-Noonebin innings, Brad Bootsma, Mitchell Wiles and Spencer Sewell all made handy scores. Bootsma and Wiles top scored with 33 apiece while Sewell finished unbeaten on 22. Hardie (2-21) and Bailey Parsons (2-35) did the damage with the ball for Wandering. The game between Lake Grace and Cuballing at Clayton Road Oval was abandoned after 28 overs in the first innings. Lake Grace were 9-81 when the game was called off after Blair Forrest had ripped through the top order with 6-25 off his nine overs. Meanwhile in the other abandoned fixture, Williams were 2-91 batting first against Dumbleyung in Williams. Points were shared by the teams in both abandoned games.
