Dogs easily romp home

After winning the toss, the Campbelltown-Camden batsmen hit the pitch first at Memorial Oval and they came out swinging at almost every ball.
While some balls sailed over the fence, big scoring simply wasn’t consistent enough and the pressure of the Dogs’ bowling ensured wickets were falling regularly.
The wickets were shared with four bowlers taking two wickets each, including a great run-out to George Balderson throwing from deep mid-off with a direct hit.
After the 20 overs, the Ghosts were 9 for 139.
Chasing 140 to win off 20 overs, Ryan Felsch and Solway opened the Bulldogs’ batting and it was clear they meant serious business.
Felsch was extremely unlucky not to reach his 50 and fell agonisingly short on 48 with the score on 86.
Solway then assumed the captain’s role and along with support from Zeeshaan Ahmed and Brendan Smith, finishing 52 not out.
Bankstown finished 3 for 140 in the 19th over.
A day earlier, Bankstown finished with 214 against Manly at Manly Oval in a two-match series in the Belvidere Cup.
Nick Carruthers continued his batting purple patch with a rapid-fire 41 off 50 balls (including six boundaries), while Solway provided the backbone for the innings with his 48 off 120 balls.
At the close of play, Manly are 1 for 3.
