A massively understrength Shepparton United was beaten at Beechworth at the weekend.

Only eight players were able to make the trek and the side could only manage 51 from 17 overs, with Christina Roberts top-scoring with 18.

United only spent seven overs in the field as Beechworth opener Sophie Panozzo (28 not out) and number three Megan Moyle (20 not out) made short work of Shepparton's total.

Stacey Lothian was the sole wicket-taker for Shepparton, finishing with 1-16 from two overs.

Kyabram Fire Brigade picked up a three-wicket win over Leitchville-Gunbower on Sunday.

Lauren Hall's troops chased down the visitor's 5-124 in the 28th over off the back of 32 runs to the skipper and an unbeaten 28 from Rebecca Coney.

Hall hit five fours and Coney found the boundary three times in her 40-ball innings.

Georgia Ross hit a 27-ball 21 after taking two wickets with ball in hand, finishing with figures of 2-13 from four overs.

In the other game of the round, Echuca was too strong for Bamawm-Lockington United.

Grace Moyle hit 37 not out and Pauline Sleeman an unbeaten 30 to guide the side to 4-155 from 30 overs before a Richie Benaud-esque spell of 2-2 from two overs by Danielle Garden restricted United to 7-70 from 30 overs.
