Byron Bay second grade scored their second win in the 2018 Coastal League after a five-wicket victory over Cudgen playing at home.
Byron won the toss and sent Cudgen in to bat where Lachlan Whiteford was the wrecking bowler taking five wickets for 19 off seven overs.
Toby Schoot (3/25) and Levi Shouldice (2/29) chimed in to have the Cudgen side all out for 109. Byron reached the total with five wickets in hand with good innings from Matt Irwin, who got to 51 before being out hit wicket.
He was ably supported by newcomer Peter Jackson who was not out on 37 when Byron reached their target.
Byron Cellars third grade were well beaten by 10 wickets playing away against Lennox Head.
The thirds were asked to bat first on the lightning-fast Williams Reserve ground.
The side didn’t make enough runs for the conditions, scoring a total of 111 with only two batsmen reaching double figures. Tim Goodhind hit 10 fours in his 56 and Dylan Bailey scored 16.
Lennox didn’t lose a wicket in their chase and reached the total in just 17 overs with the openers M Tancred (66 n/o) and J Hooper (33 n/o) doing it in style.
The contrasting results leave Byron seconds on top of the table while the thirds are at the bottom of theirs, but they have a bye this week to regroup.
In other results Lennox Head and Bangalow third graders had wins putting them on top of the ladder.
