BIG game experience was on show at Clem Young Oval on Saturday, as St Andrew’s hosted Tyrendarra in round 13 of the Hamilton and District Cricket Association A grade competition, with the home side rattling up a formidable 8-280 from its allotted overs.

Russell Elton won the toss and elected to bat first on a wicket that was an unknown quantity after the Drews curator had problems with his roller, and after Tyrendarra had spent a taxing day at the T20 finals in Warrnambool the day before.
