IN what could prove to be a tone-setting match for the season ahead, Tyrendarra claimed a five-wicket win over Portland Colts with just under four overs to spare in Saturday’s A grade Portland and District Cricket Association clash at Flinders Park.

With both teams looking to get their season underway after a frustrating couple of weeks on the sidelines, and with these two sides having faced each other in last season’s grand final, the importance of this match couldn’t be understated even this early in the season.
