Close finish for Dragons
BOORCAN made it two narrow wins in a row with a one wicket win in round three of the South West CA division two competition.

Will Rowbottom returned to the Boorcan line-up for the first time this season, leading the bowlers with 2/16 from eight overs, while new ball bowler Cain Mahoney impressed with 1/30 from eight.
Boorcan controlled the run chase for most of their innings until a flurry of late wickets saw the Dragons reduced to 9/165 with four runs required to win.
Angus Fraser and Toby Fleming got the team over the line in the 39th over in another tense finish for the Dragons.
This week in division two Boorcan has the bye.
