PORTLAND Colts’ dominance over the Portland and District Cricket Association B grade competition has lived on for yet another season, as they downed opponents South Portland in the grand final at Henty Park on Saturday by 38 runs.

A batting collapse in the previous weekend’s qualifying final against South had forced Colts to reach the play-off via a hard-fought semi-final against Tyrendarra, however there was to be no collapse this time.
