Gala 2nds secured an excellent victory over Carlton 5ths to move into second in Division Seven.

Gala scored an excellent 196 for five from their 40 overs, thanks to a superb opening stand of 93 by Max Hastings and John Imray.

Hastings finished on 78 while Imray made 35 and Seb Loumeau a quickfire 36 not out.

In reply, Carlton were always behind the asking rate and were eventually all out for 108.

Loumeau took 4 for 9 to complete a fine day, while Jamie Bell (2 for 28), Maisie Maceira (1 for 7), Liam Skeldon (1 for 19) and Caitlin Ormiston (1 for 23) also were amongst the wickets.
