The Seagulls were 7/217 with eight overs left and chasing quick runs.
O’Hare and Waite took another wicket each and at stumps Tooradin was 9/257.

Clyde headed to Kooweerup, won the toss and elected to bat, but the decision looked to have backfired after the loss of two early wickets.

Hosting Cardinia, Clyde lost the toss and bowled first.
Aaron Adams took a wicket with his first ball and Ben Lackmann took two quick wickets as Clyde had Cardinia at 3/16.
An 86run partnership wrested the game back in the Bulls’ favour before Adams took wickets in consecutive overs and captain Ritchie Bertram chipped in with another.
Tea was taken with the score at 6/130, and Adams continued his great bowling with another two wickets in consecutive overs.
Some aggressive late batting saw the Bulls add some quick runs before they were dismissed for 192 from 39 overs.

Chris Hymas offered some resistance with 17, Matt Sinnema made 16 and Adams 15, but the loss of the last five wickets for just nine runs was disappointing.
