Saturday saw Yea A-Grade cricketers travel back to Broadford for the second week of their two-day clash.

A poor fielding performance the previous week had left Yea with a target of 254 to chase down.

Things started brightly enough for the Tigers, despite the loss of an early wicket Michael Waghorn and Cam Armstrong were able to forge a strong second wicket partnership, pushing the score along to 1/76 at around three runs per over.

Waghorn departed for a well-made 23, but Armstrong pushed on taking the score to 133 before he was dismissed for 78.

From here Yea lost a cluster of wickets, with only Corey Malcolm able to spend any real time in the middle through this period, with Yea falling to 7/154 and in deep trouble.

At this point Andrew Butterworth joined Malcolm at the crease, and the pair put on an excellent counter-attacking partnership of 43 to give Yea hope.

However, after Butterworth was out for 17 the final few wickets fell in quick succession, including Malcolm for a gritty 32, to leave Yea all out for 204.

While it was an admirable effort with the bat this week, the Tigers were left to rue their dropped catches in the field the previous week, which ultimately cost them the game.

Next week endsees Yea away again, this time travelling to Seymour to take on Eastern Hill in another two-day game.
