BDCA 2023: Harvey-Benger move back into top four of second grade, Ashton Goodwin shines against Marist

Harvey-Benger returned to top four in BDCA second grade, following Saturday’s five-wicket win over Leschenault at the Harvey Recreation Ground. Set 142 for victory, the home side reached 5-143 in the 25th over, with Matt Chave and Francois Roelofsz both remaining unbeaten. Winning the toss and electing to bat, Leschenault had an afternoon to forget, aside from a quality late cameo from Nathan Douch (33 not out off 58 balls) who tried to lift his side out of danger. At the Bunbury Recreation Ground, 17-year-old Ashton Goodwin continued his excellent form, as Colts defeated Marist by 126 runs. Goodwin blasted 92 off 133 balls, as Colts amassed 5-269. In reply, the Blues finished on 8-143, with Goodwin (4-26 off 8.2 overs) and Luke Hutchinson (3-17 off six overs) getting amongst the wickets. In fourth grade, Jarod Maughan made 101 for Harvey-Benger, who defeated Leschenault by nine wickets at Leschenault Recreation Park.
