Top-of-the-table Forestry made it eight wins in a row as they completely outplayed finals aspirants Boyup Brook in their recent clash at Boyup Brook Oval.

Forestry batted first and got off to a solid start, with the top three Mat Johnston (13), Duncan Wells (39) and Corey Gibellini (23) all making starts.

Some great bowling from Tristan Mead (4-29) had Forestry in trouble at 5-87, but with captain Kallan Fall (25) and Connor Ipsen (33) and some solid contributions down the order, Forestry were bowled out for 170.

Declan Holland bowled well, taking 2-24.

In reply, Boyup put on 16 for the first wicket, but from then on the two Forestry opening bowlers in Ipsen (6-12) and Blake Johnston (3-50) completely rattled the Boyup batting line-up as they were dismissed for a measly 66 runs in only 14.1 overs.
