NYORA’S Bgrade side has given Emerald a sizeable run chase this week after posting 250 on Saturday.
Emerald won the toss, sent the Maroons in and openers Mark Pearse and Brenton Hackett put on a 67 run partnership before the latter was out for 32.
Nick Fairbank was next to go on 23.
Three quick wickets fell and Nyora was 5/120 in the 36th over.
This bought Adam Tagliaferro in to join Mark Pearse and together they put on a 72run partnership before the latter went out for a wellmade 69.
Tagliaferro went on to make 52, his first halfcentury for Bgrade.
Kelvin Toogood ran out of partners and was left stranded on 26 notout.
Emerald then had to face one over and at stumps was 1/0, Nick Fairbank being the bowler.

Ryan McIntosh took two wickets, Jacob Bohmer and Luke Tagliaferro also took a wicket each.

Jake Hackett was the best of Nyora’s bowlers taking 2/36, Billy Hayes took 1/17 and Jacob Bohmer also took a wicket.
