Band sings a winning tune in ULCA

Set 150 for victory off 35 overs, Wedderburn Band defied a late collapse to finish 9-152.

The visitors had looked well placed at 2-122 before opener Brad Holt fell for a well-compiled 50.

His departure sparked a collapse of 4-11 and Wedderburn's hopes fell to number four Luke Holt.

He guided Wedderburn to within two runs of victory before he was dismissed for 41.

Tailenders Dale Kleehammer and Finn Turnbull scored the required runs to win the game.

Matt Hodoras and Brian Minogue kept Boort in the game with fine spells of 3-21 off seven overs 3-13 off four overs respectively.

Earlier in the day, Wedderburn Band opening bowler Will Holt tormented the Boort batters by taking 3-10 off his seven overs.

It took a classy unbeaten 47 from Hodoras and 34 from skipper Fergus Bear to ensure Boort-Yando had a competitive total to defend.

In the other round six match, Kingower consolidated second place on the ladder by defeating Bridgewater by 49 runs.

Kingower captain Braydon Welsh top scored with 69 off 91 balls and Nick Leach made a brisk 33 off 26 balls to lead their side to 8-195 off 35 overs.

Harry McKinley, Darcy Wood, Tom McKinley and Patrick Murphy took two wickets each for Bridgewater.

In reply, Bridgewater lost a couple of early wickets before Murphy and Chas Pickering steadied the ship.

However, when Murphy (37) and Pickering (26) fell in quick succession Bridgewater's hopes took a dive.

Bridgewater battled its way to all out 146. Kingower shared the wickets, with Jayden Leach (2-25) the most impressive bowler.

Tom Nunn made a late cameo with the ball and picked up 2-0 off seven deliveries.

The ULCA season resumes on January 8, with Arnold travelling to Wedderburn Band and Bridgewater at home to Boort-Yando.
