His side has forced its way back into South West Cricket’s top-four after wins against second-placed Terang and giant-beater Cobden in recent weeks, emphatically snapping what had been a four-game losing streak.

But with just two rounds remaining before finals and games to come against Pomborneit and Bookaar – both of which are looking to knock Noorat out and claim fourth spot – Harris said there’s still plenty of work ahead.

“We’re no certainty to get in,” he said. “We might have to win two games, we might only have to win one.

“It’s very even (across the association) and the finals are played on turf, which will even it up even more.”

Harris has been front and centre of Noorat’s form turnaround, with a confident-boosting 46 against top team Mortlake before making twins scores of 103 not out in his next two outings.

The first, against nearby rival Terang, was on turf, while the second was on the hard wicket against Cobden at Noorat Recreation Reserve.

The 54-year-old was on about 25 runs at drinks on Saturday, before upping the ante in the second half of the innings as Noorat accelerated from 2-90 to post 6-248.

Cobden batsman Jack Hutt had threatened to bring things undone for Noorat, which needed a win to leapfrog Pomborneit into fourth spot, dropped six times on his way to 69 runs. But Noorat claimed the last seven wickets for 10 runs to win by 122 runs.
