EAGLEHAWK IS THE 2016-17 BDCA PREMIER, WINNING BY 3 WICKETS.

THAT’S GAME OVER, 2 LEG BYES OFF A MCDERMOTT NO-BALL AND EAGLEHAWK WINS FLAG BY 3 WICKETS.

FITT FINISHES 21 NOT OUT.

Fitt and East partnership was 54.

ZAC EAST OUT TO THE CATCH OF THE GRAND FINAL, 1-HANDED BY DI FEDE IN GULLY OFF MCDERMOTT.

EAGLEHAWK 7-156 IN 71ST OVER, CORY JACOBS NEW BATSMAN.

3 RUNS NEEDED FOR WIN, 2 TO TIE, IS THERE A TWIST STILL TO COME?

EAST MADE 28 OFF 64.

MCDERMOTT’S 2ND WICKET.

70^th over – 6-156 – East 28 (63), Fitt 21 (64).

Could Easty’s knock here get him in the Taylor-Walsh medal calculations?

Easty has taken gave away from BUCCs with good support from Fitt.

69^th over – 6-150 – East 27, Fitt 16.

47-run partnership between Fitt and East, best of the game.

9 left to get for Eaglehawk, Redbacks need 4 wickets.

68^th over – 6-150 – East 27, Fitt 16.

Not long to go now for Eaglehawk, 10 to win.

67^th over – 6-149 – East 26, Fitt 16, McDermott 1-19.

66^th over – 6-147 – East 26, Fitt 14.

65^th over – 6-143 – East 24, Fitt 14.

17 more needed for Eaglehawk.

Taylor-Walsh Medal going to be interesting, top performers are Murdoch with 4-for, Donegan with 40, McGlashan with 26 and tight bowling.

64^th over – 6-142 – East 23, Fitt 14, Holmes 0-27 (16).

Don’t reckon either team would be thrilled with the scoreboard issue at the QEO. Third figure of Hawks tally not showing up.

63^rd over – 6-139 – East 22, Fitt 12, Gunn 0-2.

Another 20 needed for Hawks… it was about here that they faltered against Strathdale last year.

Doesn’t look like happening again. Fitt and East both looking solid.

62^nd over – 6-139 – East 22 (37), Fitt 12 (40), Holmes 0-24 (15).

WRAP OF DAY ONE PLAY

61^st over – 6-135 – East 18 (32), Fitt 12 (40), Gunn 0-2 (1).

Ben Gunn on to bowl 61^st over.

That’s drinks here at QEO. Eaglehawk need 26 more to win, 4 wickets in hand, Matt Fitt and Zac East at crease.

They have added 31 for 7^th wicket so far.

60^th over – 6-133 – East 17, Fitt 11, Holmes 0-20 (14).

59^th over – 6-131 – East 15, Fitt 11, Crawford 3-44 (16).

Fitt and East look like they will guide Hawks home from here.

31 more needed for Hawks.

A diving Harry Donegan just put down very tough chance from Fitt off Podosky. Looked like it just carried.

58^th over – 6-128 – East 13, Fitt 10, Podosky 2-37.

Hawks look headed for first flag in 11 years.

36 more needed for Hawks, Fitt and East at the crease, they have put on 21.

57^th over – 6-123 – East 13; Fitt 6; Crawford 3-41.

36^th over – 4-76 – McGlashan 15, West 1, Crawford 1-15 (5).

Reckon Collinson disappointment may stem from his belief that ball hit ground before bouncing off Gunn to Donegan.

But the decision is in the book as out.

COLLINSON GIVEN OUT CAUGHT BEHIND BY HRRY DONEGAN OFF NICK CRAWFORD.

COLLINSON STILL AT CREASE, NOT WALKING, HE’S ON HIS WAY NOW.

HE’S LIVID, GOING TO NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT’S HAPPENED WITH THIS DISMISSAL.

32^nd over – 3-67 – McGlashan 14 (75), Collinson 7 (14), Crawford 0-12 (3).

White Hills second XI now 8-39 against Eaglehawk. Looks like Hawks have seconds flag in bag.

BUCCs have just had a big appeal for Collinson caught by Gunn at bat pad off Crawford given not out.
