The Grassmere Cricket Association division one side only managed a single one-day victory for 2019/20 so it has already equalled last summer's effort.

The Crabs knocked off Wangoom last weekend with Daniel Jones blasting 78 not out.

"It was nice after last year for the boys to enjoy a good win," Chatfield said.

The side will be chasing its second victory on Saturday when it hosts Woolsthorpe-Mailors Flat in round three.

Chatfield has been impressed with the progress of recruits Ben Woolcock (Wesley-CBC) and Todd Doran (Maryborough).

The coach noted Woolcock was yet to be dismissed.

The opener made 22 not out against the Roosters last weekend and 23 when playing Yambuk in round one.

Chatfield added Doran, a batsman/wicket-keeper, was showing plenty with the bat and on track for a big score.

The Crabs mentor said the group would continue to focus on improving its fielding and bowling good line and length.

Killarney will rest some of its players and is bringing in Brandon Finn and Jonny Walther.

Finn, who has just moved down from Colac, is captain Brayden Buchanan's brother-in-law.

Buchanan said Walther played a couple of matches last summer.
