Imperials v CATS
IMPERIALS will fancy its chances of a win after bowling out CATS for 148 on day one of their two-day clash at Traralgon’s Catterick Reserve.
CATS won the toss and elected to bat in the rain-affected match, with openers Jamie Cochrane (24) and Declan Wilson (20) getting their team off to a good start.
But a succession of wickets meant CATS slipped from 0/40 to 3/42 with both openers and Ben Julin (0) dismissed in quick succession.
Top-scorer Josh Keyhoe (26) looked to rebuild but was dismissed with the score at 5/97.
CATS lost its remaining five wickets for the addition of 51 runs.
Bradley Sizeland (3/35) and Nathanael Campbell (3/43) did the bulk of the damage with the ball, while Scott Aitken and Joel Randall claimed two wickets each.
