Dogs scare off ghosts with stunning bowling

BANKSTOWN scored a comprehensive win against Campbelltown, with opening bowlers Ryan Felsch and Liam Marshall finishing with three wickets apiece at Bankstown Memorial Oval.

The top five Ghosts batsmen all scored less than 15 runs each, with most in single figures.
Marshall was especially good with 3 for 32 and showed his genuine pace off the deck, while at the other end, Felsch (3 for 36) was bowling very heavy balls that caught the edges for ‘keeper Ethan Deal to snap up.
However, a few Ghosts showed some substance, and it was not all the Dogs’ way although the result was never really under threat.
It took the slow bowlers Daniel Burns and Ben Le Bas to put the brakes on and truly strangle any late resurgence. Le Bas finished off the Ghosts with 2 for 8 and they were all out for just 166.
The Daniel Solway-led Bulldogs also secured a home final in the Twenty20 competition after surpassing Wests’ target in the 16th over.
