Melville have cruised into the first grade final, scoring a massive record breaking 511 against South Perth at Fletcher Park. After Scott Meuleman (42), Ben Lillis (49) and Adam Voges (54) got the side away to a good start, Dimitri Mascarenhas made his maiden first grade century, finishing with 160 as he combined first with Chris Wood (40) and then Steve Russell (60no) to put the result beyond doubt. With Melville needing only a draw to make the final, South Perth declined to bat, giving the Melville bowlers another week off.
