So here we are.... Righto lads, Round 5.

Omega to cause an upset of sorts against ANA. For no particular reason than this is the most likely upset to occur for mine.

Union should make light work of Carnegie.

Ditto East Sandy of Le Page.

Match of the Round belongs to Elwood v Uniting. Brett's boys have bounced back from a 0-2 start and are sitting on the brink of the 4. A loss here will more than likely see them 9 points adrift and a battle with ANA who will also be looking to keep their finals flame flickering. Winning form is good form and Elwood's is better. Home side for mine.

Mackie and West Bentleigh will also be a corker. I'll favour the home side again in a close one.

If ever there was a case of chocolates to boiled lollies this would have to be it. Hampton Central to remain on 0 points with Washington having another 'Victory from the Velodrome' to keep them just off the pace.


In Woolnough, the Kookas will bounce back from 2 close losses to keep their faint finals hopes alive against Mark Bell United.

Aspendale to finally get their second 6 point result over Southside.

Kingston Heath will be too strong for Brighton District.

East Sandy to keep the momentum and reverse their Prelim Final result from earlier this year - even without father of 2.

Omega should get the chocolates against ANA in a close one.

Union to do it comfortably against Cluden who are coming off a 48 last week.

Greetings Gents & Bottsy.
If in the umps opinion there is some doubt then you can't give it out.You might not agree with the reasoning or the answer, but that is how it goes.
ANA will get over the line.Too much to lose.
Mackie will be keen to reverse previous trends.Have not beaten the West Stars in the past few years.Will be a cracker.
East Sandy should account for Le Page.
Brighton Union with 'Ivan the Great' will win easily.
Will give Hampton Central one more chance.Can't trust Washington with their form.
Elwood are flying and their batting is imposing.Have to tip them.
Kingston to defeat a very disappointing Brighton Districts.
Edi Aspy will win.
Omega -v-ANA will be a ripper.Will stick with the home team in a close one.
Union should get over Cluden.
East to get over the line but Westars are good at pulling out surprise results.
Good luck tomorrow to all playing and umpiring.

The latest edition of the Bentleigh ANA Cricket Show was posted on Friday afternoon. We will try to get the next edition up and running early next week.

Quite a revelation came about y'day, Sugar. If the story told was whole and true, which I am quite confident is the case, then disappointing that measures weren't taken on ANA's part to expose the individual in question and a formal apology made. Perhaps an attempt to maintain this Collingwood appeal you've so generously labelled your club with...?

Some interesting results on the weekend. Mackie with a respectable score, but not one you'd be extremely confident of defending. Probably an each way bet at this point in the game.
Le Page have done themselves no harm, posting a handy total which probably should've been a lot higher from reports.
ANA should chase down 160 odd comfortably.
Washington Park & Union have probably made enough to be comfortable at he halfway mark, while Elwood's batting talents will be tested against one of the better attacks in Longmuir.

Our boys should get the job done chasing 134. Not a bad effort considering we put down 6 chances. Could realistically have had them out for around 50 when Bell & Dixon were both dropped in the space of 5 balls and the score at 4/23.
Aspendale's 246 should be too much for Southside.
Kingston Heath keep rolling along and should be confident of chasing a competitive 186 from Brighton Dist.
Match of the round is proving to be with Moorabbin West posting 247. East Sandy have mowed down 240 & 260 in consecutive games to get their season back on track and I reckon they've got the batting line up in this week to do it again.
Omega should chase down ANA's 161, but I wouldn't think it'll be all that easy.
And Cluden have struggled with the bat a bit, but I'm backing them in to chase down Union's 149.
Should the results go that way 2nd-5th will all go down and make things very interesting in Woolnough.

Mick - I wasn't at Omega on Sunday to share gossip & innuendo, so I've got no idea what you're on about.

If it's a legitimate 'concern', you've got my number.

[Uncle Mick]

Not for mine, bud. The individual with the concern addressed the matter at the time. No point digging up old war wounds on this forum, nor is it my place to involve myself. I have a feeling you'll hear about it from one of your own in the next few days.

Who won the sprint race on Sunday at Omega

[Ordinary Bloke]

Callum Rayner from Kingston Heath won the sprint from Keith Brown from Washington park.
A great turn up yesterday in easily the biggest day produced down at Omega.
Fantastic to see so many CMCA clubs support the day and a good time was had by all.
Great to see guys like Maysie and Wally Bennett hang around to the early hours of the morning too!

Any nudists in crash helmets, fire extinguisher episodes or stories of the like?

Run us through the pre-sprint antics of this Keith Brown character. And word around town is Dean Green prefers the outside rail.....

I must apologise on behalf of Washington Park for that bloke that represented us. He was a ring in that one of the boys knew cos they thought he would dominate. The deal was the club and him went half in the entry fee so if he won, they would also split the winnings. He's an absolute knob from all reports. I think he thought he was running in the Olympic trials, not a CMCA fun run. Anyway, it brought a smile to my face when i heard that he lost after all his pre-race warming up and stretching regime.
