After more than 140 overs in the opening two days, Pearcedale is in the box seat after bowling 40 overs to Flinders on the second day and having them 2/37 overnight. Not only did Dew score 159, when he gave only two small chances, he was almost the man to take Flinders’ first two wickets. Dew and Shane Maggs put Pearcedale into a wonderful position for victory after the opening day. The Panthers won the all-important grand final toss and went into bat. However, Matt Cousland was sent packing for a duck and Mitch Andrew followed three runs later and Flinders had the opposition on the ropes at 2/3.

They were able to take the score to 4/146 before Maggs fell victim to Dwayne Field in the final over of the first day. Chris Dew remained at the crease, not out on 82.
