North, Birrell take Joondalup attack to pieces

19th January 2009, 9:00 WST

A record partnership involving WA captain Marcus North has ushered Bayswater-Morley into the top six of the Retravision Shield and into the frame to play in the finals series in March.

North’s second century of the season, a dominant 158, helped Bayswater displace Perth in sixth place despite the Demons recording a tight victory over Fremantle.

After coming together at 3-20 in replay to Joondalup’s imposing 9-320, North and Matt Birrell (153) put on 326 for the fourth wicket to help the Bears to 6-413.

The stand was the biggest in WACA history for the fourth wicket, passing the 319 put on by Justin Langer and Kade Harvey for Scarborough against Fremantle in 2000-01.

Baywater’s previous record was the 199 set by Derek Aslett and Glen Hughes against Wanneroo 24 years ago.

Another four runs would have seen North and Birrell create the third highest stand for any wicket in WACA history but they have to be content with the fifth highest.

North’s State team-mate Luke Ronchi saw Perth home in reply to Fremantle’s 237 by remaining 88 not out.

But Perth dropped a spot despite their win and are now just 0.42 points – or 42 runs – out of the top six.

The race for the finals has become more intense with candidates Rockingham-Mandurah, University and Wanneroo improving their chances with solid wins.

Rockingham pushed hard for an outright win over last-placed Midland-Guildford but could not take the final four wickets.

Midland were rolled for 139 in reply to Rocky’s 7-329 and were in trouble at 6-77 in their second innings before hanging on.

Uni saw off a lion-hearted effort from State speedster Ben Edmondson to record a superb fighting win over South Perth.

Uni lost three wickets in a hurry with the game in the balance at tea after South Perth made 230 but captain Josh Mangan (82) and Mark Penter (111) produced a stout century stand to see them home.

And Wanneroo’s 9-449 was far too many for Gosnells who were dismissed for 196 and had to work hard to stave off an outright loss after losing 4-1 in their second innings.

Ryan Duffield and Norwood produced a club record sixth wicket stand of 145 to help Gosnells survive after Graeme Atkinson did the damage during an expensive spell that saw three wickets and 61 runs in a seven-over spell.

Willetton and Subiaco-Floreat retained their placed in the top six after their draw provided them with five points each but both teams are now vulnerable to the challengers pushing from below.

Melville stretched their lead at the top of the ladder after a comprehensive win over Mt Lawley while powerhouse Scarborough lost all 20 wickets in innings of 74 and 176 as they slumped to a thrashing at the hands of fifth-placed Claremont-Nedlands.

Jim Allenby had superb figures of 5-20 and 3-20 as the strife-racked Claremont maintained their strong recent form.
