PIGEON Pongs has thrashed the ball to all parts of the Pigeon Ponds Recreation Reserve, as Peter Staude, Simon Close, and Michael Close feasted on the South Portland bowling attack on day two of the Hamilton and District Cricket Association (HDCA) A grade round four games.

South Portland had posted a competitive 251 on day one and the side would have had confidence that the tally could be defended, but the Pigeons had other ideas, as Staude and Noah Hildebrand took strike to get proceedings underway.
