GORAE-PORTLAND will head into day two of their Portland and District Cricket Association clash with South Portland at Cavalier Park with an imposing total to defend after fantastic knocks from two of their veteran batsmen.  

Nick Wills (96) fell agonisingly short of what would have been a maiden century for the experienced batsman, while Stephen O’Brien (84) was also not able to get to three figures, but nonetheless the pair ought to be proud of the performances they produced at a time when their club desperately needed them.
