Noorat registers fourth SWC win of 2020/21 season

Noorat captain Steve O'Connor summed up James Moloney's past two matches perfectly.

The youngster claimed 5-29 during Saturday's away victory against Camperdown in South West Cricket Association division one.

He also took 2-34 in the side's triumph over Terang in round one of the Fonterra Twenty20 Cup on Monday.

Moloney's teammate Jacob Fishwick also blasted 105 from 64 balls in that short-form win while debutant Caleb Kavanagh claimed two wickets.

O'Connor said Moloney "bowled really well" and capitalised after good spells from openers Gus Bourke and Andrew Battistello on Saturday.

Noorat knocked over Camperdown for 95 before opener Martin Wynd (34) led the charge in the run chase.

O'Connor added Bourke (20 not out) and Isaac Kenna (21 not out) steadied the ship after a fall of wickets.

Meanwhile, Cobden went down to Pomborneit.

Bookaar opener Eddie Lucas was the pick of the batsmen on the weekend with 105 in his team's victory against Terang. He more than doubled the Goats' total (47).

Mortlake triumphed after keeping Simpson to 76 runs.

Third-ranked Noorat faces seventh-placed Cobden on Saturday. Its Twenty20 quarter-final isn't until November 26.

O'Connor said bowling and fielding would be focuses for improvement at training this week.
