HAMILTON suffered a heartbreaking loss to Portland Colts in round five of the Hamilton and District Cricket Association A grade competition at Monivae Turf on Saturday, as the visitors chased down the target set by Hamilton via a 53-run undefeated last wicket partnership.

The game was moved from Dahl Turf which isn’t quite ready to host matches, and Hamilton skipper Cameron Templeton was quick to bat first after the toss of the coin fell his way.
