THE reigning Portland and District Cricket Association A grade premiers have well and truly carried their form across to the new Hamilton and District Cricket Association, defeating Portland Tigers by 68 runs at Flinders Park on Saturday.

The Darras won the toss and elected to bat first, and while the Tigers drew first blood early as their skipper Will Oakley claimed opener Lachie Kirk, the Darras quickly responded through their own skipper Cam Mather and Sam Wilson.
