Opener Hamilton batted through the 40 overs in making an unbeaten 101 as Bagshot answered Raywood’s 6-126 with 5-238
Bagshot’s score of 238 is the highest in the NUCA this season.
As well as Hamilton making the NUCA’s second ton of the season - Dingee’s Scott Lawry has the other - Bagshot also had Ash Jefferis (52 retired), Caleb Argus (37) and Greg Hamilton (33) contribute as the side won its fourth game in a row.
Braden Latter (2-43) took two of Raywood’s five wickets.
Earlier after it was sent in, Raywood struggled its way to 6-126 after one stage being 4-32.
Damian Tresize battled hard in making an unbeaten 54, while Aaron Wheelhouse (2-13) and Lachlan Wallace (2-16) took two wickets each for Bagshot.
• Elmore made its highest score of the season, but it wasn’t enough to topple the undefeated Colbinabbin.
Having been sent in, flag favourite Colbinabbin compiled 4-193.
Five of the Ducks’ six batsmen scored between 26 and 41 - Chris Guinane (41), Hadleigh Sirett (36 n.o.), Paddy O’Brien (31), skipper Brian Dwyer (26) and Sam McRae (26 n.o.).
O’Brien and Dwyer got the innings away to a strong start with a 49-run opening stand, while McRae and Sirett later added an unbeaten 72.
Wade Bonham (3-41) was the sole multiple wicket-taker for Elmore, which didn’t go down without a fight in making 9-165 in reply.
Bonham followed up his three-for by top-scoring for Elmore with 51.
Kally McDougall finished unbeaten on 36.
Opening bowler Darcy Booth claimed 3-26 off eight overs for Colbinabbin.
Not only was Elmore’s 9-165 its highest score of the season, it was also the most runs Colbinabbin has conceded.
• Heathcote upset Dingee by 37 runs to win its third game of the season.
Batting first, Heathcote compiled 5-164, with captain Brenton Conforti (45 n.o.), opener Luke Bell (43) and Corey Gilmore (35) leading the way.
Anthony Lawry (2-15) took two wickets for Dingee, which could muster just 7-127 in reply.
Ben Harris was outstanding with the ball in taking 2-11 off eight overs for Heathcote, while Patrick Ring bagged 3-31 off eight.
Only opener Dale Anderson (40), Scott Lawry (23) and Robert Lowes (27) scored in double figures for Dingee.
• Goornong upstaged Calivil, winning by 69 runs.
Goornong belted 9-195 after being sent in, with skipper Taig Griffin (72) and opener Jesse O’Connell (63) both scoring half-centuries.
Phil Brown (3-34) was the leading wicket-taker for Calivil, which was bundled out for 126 in reply.
Tyler McNamara (3-13) kept the pressure on with the ball for Goornong, while Ash Smith (38) and Jarrod Smith (35) were the only Calivil players to offer any resistance with the bat.
