Titans striving for inaugural top-grade premiership

A FOCUS on batting depth during the off-season has helped Armstrong Creek’s A1 take the next step in the Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association, according to captain/coach Daniel Maclean.

The Titans finished as minor premiers and will host Barrabool in their first versus fourth knockout two-day semi-final, which starts tomorrow (Saturday, March 15).

The Bulls claimed fourth on percentage after winning their tight finals race against Jan Juc, who finished fifth.

“We fancy ourselves in two-day cricket, we believe we’re a better two-day side than one-day side so we’re excited to take it on again this week,” Maclean said.

After winning the A2 competition, the Titans are enjoying their third season in the BPCA top flight.

“We just missed finals in the first year, we played in a semi-final last year so we’re hoping to go one better this year,” Maclean said.

It has thus far been a successful season for Armstrong Creek with their four men’s teams in the finals.

Additionally, the under-13s and women’s (GCA E Grade East) won premierships last weekend.

Reigning premier Barwon Heads and Anglesea will duel in the second versus third A1 semi-final.
