BDCA - Roos battle as Hawks as Twenty20 season fires back up Tuesday night

The Roos and Hawks will re-start the competition when they clash at Canterbury Park from 6pm.

Eaglehawk and Kangaroo Flat are two of the three clubs, along with Sandhurst, that are yet to win a Twenty20 premiership since the competition's introduction in 2008-09.

The two sides have made contrasting openings to the Twenty20 season, with the Roos getting away to a winning start with a six-wicket victory over White Hills on December 9 that was well led with the bat by captain Brent Hamblin (53 n.o.) and opener Chris Barber (49).

The Hawks now have little room for error after their opening game was a nine-wicket loss to Strathfieldsaye on December 15.

Tuesday night's clash between the Roos and Hawks will lead into a big Australia Day double-header at the QEO on Wednesday.

Huntly-North Epsom and Strathdale-Maristians will begin the day's action at 2.30pm followed by Sandhurst taking on the undefeated Bendigo from 6pm for the Slattery Cup.

Across the seven games that have been played so far Bendigo United's hard-hitting batsman Clayton Holmes is the competition's leading run-scorer with 98.

And with the ball Strathfieldsaye left-arm spinner Savith Priyan leads the way with five wickets.

With what is a revised fixture following the BDCA's two-week season pause due to COVID earlier this month the Twenty20 grand final will now be played on Wednesday, March 2, at the QEO.
