At Queens Park on Saturday, Healesville 1st Xl won the toss and elected to bat against the league leaders Wantirna South.
The home side were again off to a good start. However with Josh Handasyde in blistering form and having reached 36 off just 34 deliveries he was tragically runout with the score on 48.
Handasyde had barely walked off the field when Liam Daly witnessed D’Amore, Andersen, Minney and Damrow return to the pavilion for not many.
Thankfully Daly 41 battled on with support from Luke Chandler 22 and Nick Lowe 20 to give the bowlers something to defend.
And this they did; Nick Lowe continued on his excellent all round season, bowling 8 overs, 5 maidens 0/6 while Sam Russell 2/33,
Josh Handasyde 2/30 and Max Minney 2/12 finished off the overs with Wantirna South one run short at a 7/143 to give the first XI their first win of the season.
