There are still two rounds of competition remaining, Fire Brigade due to play Bamawm Lockington for the first time this year on Friday and then Stanhope in the final round.
It was against Stanhope that they set the standard for an amazing season where they have scored 1120 runs from 140 overs (eight runs an over) and had only 550 scored against them in seven games.
Fire Brigade won its first three games by 71, 74 and 79 runs, then beat Moama White by 130 runs after scoring 6-191 from just 20 overs.
After facing their biggest challenge of the year, a six-run win against Moama Black, they secured 77 and 114-run wins before last week’s game was abandoned.
The Andison brothers have set a cracking pace all season, Oscar with 127 runs and nine wickets, while Archie has 111 runs and eight wickets.
Eli Coombs (107 runs and eight wickets) and Levi Cleveland (111 and eight wickets) are hot on their heels in regard to outstanding individual seasons, while Zayden Scapin has taken eight wickets.
Eli Coombs celebrates one of his eight wickets this season, while with the bat he has scored 107 runs.
– Tongala has won three games in a row for the first time this year by taking a 54-run win against Rushworth last week in the second last round of Goulburn Murray Cricket’s Under 13 season.
The team sits third on the ladder, four points clear of fourth and fifth-ranked Leitchville-Gunbower (which has a final round bye and cannot influence the result) and Echuca White.
After a five-run win against Leitchville-Gunbower and an easy victory against Stanhope the Tongala team won the toss and batted against Rushworth.
Four of its first six batters all faced their ball allocation and scored double figures. Noah Virivirilau scored 17 not out, Cyril Cleveland 21, Kevin Maurizi 18 and Lucas Pyke 15. All four of those batters struck three boundaries.
Tongala lost only three wickets, two of those run outs, in scoring 3-128.
In response Rushworth was 2-44 before suffering the same fate as Tongala with its running between wickets. Two batters were run out and three Tongala bowlers took one wicket apiece.

Old Students captain William Mathers retired in the 27th over with 62 runs to his credit, having struck six boundaries and four sixes. He returned in the last over to score another four runs.
Georgia Leonard was the pick of the Redbacks bowlers, taking 2-14 from five overs. She had support from Jack Halstead and Thomas Barnard.
