.............................................................
GOLDEN SQUARE ALL OUT 128
Ryan Hartley carries his bat to finish 87 n.o
Wijemanna took the last wicket, bowling Van Aken for 0.
....................................................
Ryan Hartley farming the strike superbly. He and Van Aken have put on 34 for 10th wicket and Van Aken has only faced one ball.
Hartley has 87 in Square's 9-128.
....................................................
Looks like play officially abandoned in the seconds XI at Harry Trott Oval given there are now a few of the Square lads up here at the QEO. Disappointing for the Square and Bendigo second XI players to not get a start today due to unplayable wicket after it was uncovered last night when rain fell.
..................................................................
50 OVERS - Square 9-113
Ryan Hartley on 74; Corey Van Aken on 0.
Square looked like getting nowhere near 100 earlier in day when they were 5-11.
.................................................................
WICKET - Adam Ward gets his first wicket. Connor Miller c Brodie McRae for 9.
Golden Square now 9-94.
Brodie McRae now has 5 catches.
Ryan Hartley unbeaten on 57. Super knock by the opener.
Meanwhile, Spring Gully 3-61 in EVCA v Sedgwick.
.............................................
Well batted Ryan Hartley - he has just brought up his 50 off 124 balls.
Square now 8-90.
When was the last time an opener carried his bat in a BDCA grand final I wonder!
......................................................
Fair to say Mitch Whittle has one hand on the Taylor-Walsh Medal given his 5-3 onslaught at the start of the day.
Gritty innings by Golden Square opener Ryan Hartley. While 8 wickets have tumbled, Hartley is still at the crease on 40.

..................................................................
IN the second XI no play between Golden Square and Bendigo due to rain-affected wicket at Harry Trott Oval. Looks like Square and the Goers could be headed into next week. Bet they are rapt with that.
