Sharks great plays alongside son

East Fremantle Sharks club great Stephen Bilcich got to enjoy another special sporting memory on Saturday at Forrest Park while playing for Marist’s fifth-grade side. The match against Donnybrook was especially significant because he got to bat with son Max for the first time at senior level. In the end, Bilcich Sr (37 off 36 balls) had a better time of things out in the middle than his son. However, the Blues got the win by four wickets after chasing down 210. Elsewhere, third-grade league leaders Burekup continued their impressive start to the season after defeating the Rising Stars by 65 runs at home. After being sent in by the visitors, Bees opener Dylan Heasman set the standard for his teammates, blasting 85 off 58 balls. This scintillating knock included seven boundaries and five sixes. After setting the visitors 198 for victory, Heasman and Daniel Fry took 5-30 between them as the Bees rolled the Rising Stars for 132. Collie’s unbeaten start to their second-grade campaign also came to an end after Colts recorded a gritty 15-run win at the Bunbury Recreation Ground. Despite solid contributions from Austin Kent (53), Blair Malatesta (30) and Mark Williams (60), the Coalminers were ultimately undone by a well-rounded bowling unit in their bid to chase down 235.
