Byron Bay third grade has claimed their second win of the season by beating the Ballina bears playing away at Fripp Oval last Saturday.

The Bears won the toss and after electing to bat were trundled out for 88 runs in their 23rd over.

The damage was done by D Kimmorley (4/16 off three overs) and G Worthington (3/26 off six overs).

In reply Byron fell to 2/7 before T Goodhind steadied with a 27-run knock. L bridle supported with 13, but Worthington got the side to victory scoring 35 n.o.

The win puts the thirds on 21 points and within striking distance of the top four, where Bangalow and Ballina sit on 27 points.
