LEONGATHA and District’s Under 18 cricket side has won the Gippsland Cricket League title.
The match was washed out, but after landing atop the table at the end of the five match series Leongatha snared the win.
The junior side batted first and were all out for 140, thanks mostly to Alex Manteit who top scored with 39.
He even threw the ball to himself late in the day and bowled superbly, picking up 5/24 from 9.3 overs to help get his side on top. At one stage he had figures of 5/9.
Brad Parker accepted the Premiership Cup from GCL president George Munro at the Warragul Rooms after the game, Alex Manteit was player of the match, awarded by the umpires, and Thomas Wyatt won the Gippsland Under 18 player of the year voted by the umpires in the lead up games and received the Graham Challis trophy from the Leongatha legend.
