The one-time Footscray Edgewater Victorian Premier Cricket all-rounder is a genuine matchwinner.

The left-arm orthodox spinner captured 5-7 from 4.4 overs in an extraordinary performance to spearhead his side to a convincing win over Hoppers Crossing in a one-dayer at Hogans Road Reserve in the recent second round.

The sixth bowler used, Robertson was unstoppable as he spun up a storm as the home side collapsed from 4-100 to 112 all out in pursuit of 5-161.

The visitors reached 1-21 in their second innings.

Robertson played down his performance.

"I came on pretty late in the day. The damage was done by the opening bowlers [Tim McGrath and Bill Blair]," he said. No. 3 batsman Michael Ashton also played a starring role, scoring 82 not out.

He's a one-time Footscray Edgewater second XI player.

Big things are expected from wicketkeeper-batsman Shaun Buttigieg-Clarke, who played for North Melbourne's second XI last season.

Robertson loves his style.

Buttigieg-Clarke is a fine all-round sportsman - he played an important role on the forward-line in Deer Park's stunning premiership win in the Western Region Football League's division 2 competition this year.

Robertson urged his players to keep working hard.

"I know it's cliched, but we really are just taking it one game at a time. If we get ahead of ourselves, we'll collapse in a heap.

"We've done some really big things in the preseason.

"Hopefully, the rewards will come our way."
