BDCA men’s first-grade: Colts and Dalyellup both looking to secure top spot and home qualifying final

Colts and Dalyellup will both be looking to secure top spot in the final round of the Bunbury & Districts Cricket Association men’s first-grade regular season this Saturday. The two sides both come into the weekend with 9-2 records and have accumulated seven bonus points across the course of the summer. The first-placed finisher will earn the right to host the qualifying final, which gives the winner direct passage to the grand final. Colts will be looking to grab another bonus point win when they head to Roche Park to take on last-placed Collie, while Dalyellup will face off against third-placed Leschenault at Leschenault Recreation Park. The Green Caps would tie Dalyellup’s win total if they can secure a victory, but their inferior quotient means they would need to win by a massive margin to be any chance of breaking into the top two. Marist, who have a bye, are locked in fourth. In the final game of the round, Hay Park will look to close out their campaign in winning fashion at home against Eaton. The Redbacks have endured a difficult season in the one-day format but will be full of confidence after taking out the competition’s T20 trophy with a thumping eight-wicket grand final win over Leschenault last Sunday.
