PORTLAND Colts kick-started their 2022-23 season in the Portland and District Cricket Association with a win over South Portland at Cavalier Park, chasing down their target of 92 with five wickets and more than 12 overs in hand.

The Demons won the toss and elected to bat first in what was the first match played on turf this season, a decision they must have been regretting quite quickly when Colts’ skipper Luke Evans struck just four balls into their innings, cleaning up Hamish Drew’s stumps.
