Hoping to beat the forecast rain and needing 97 runs for victory, Healesville lost an early wicket but determined not to let more fall Denzel Parsens (49) and Riley Cameron (61) put on a magnificent display of batting, both playing shots at will rocketed the score up 3/156 before Riley was bowled by a gem of a ball.
Couple overs later losing the wicket of Denzel and shortly after Ethan Nikcevich (2), Healesville was still in a commanding position at 5/164 only needing eight runs to win, young guns Adam Keath (2*) and Aeden Senti (8*) were together at the crease.
After a brief rain delay it didn’t take long for Aeden to play a couple of lovely shots to get us over the line for an early result passing the score five down after 21 overs faced on the day.
