It was a welcome return to batting form for Kennedy — the reigning O’Shaughnessy medallist whose previous four innings at domestic level had produced just 20 runs. But in an ominous warning ahead of the finals, the Irish international faced just 97 ****** while blasting five fours and eight sixes. Camera IconLake View’s David Forrest.

Luke Boxhall grabbed 4-32 as Hannans lost 3-14 at one point, but it was more than enough runs to bank a sixth win that moved them into second place. In reply, Lake View openers Matt Carter (25) and David Forrest (23) put on 47. However, Boxall’s 16 from the No.4 spot was the next-highest score when the Viewers crashed to be all out for 103 in 22.4 overs. Luke Gilfillan made 15 off 13 ****** from No.9, but it was offset by Kennedy’s superb 5-12. Kennedy’s spell was backed-up by Shasa Molgaard Angel’s 3-19 as Hannans snapped a five-game losing sequence. Lake View have lost their past three matches and are now officially out of finals contention — regardless of how they fare in this Saturday’s last match of the qualifiers against North Kalgoorlie. Hannans and Norths, who are locked on six wins, will meet in the elimination final on March 22.
