St Paul's 1st XI fielded first on a very hot day and immediately took two wickets in the first over through Tom Yarrall who finished with three for 19. He was well backed up by Matthew Fisher with two for 28 who put Lindisfarne under huge pressure with a fiery and hostile opening spell. Lindisfarne recovered in the middle of the innings but were slowed almost to a halt through accurate spinners Bede Higgens with three for 17 and Eli Spadoni with 1 for 13 as Lindisfarne were bowled out for 138.
In reply St Paul’s were in all sorts of trouble at four for 21 but slowly through Captain Alistair Blackett with 51, Bede Higgens 21, Reuben Andrews 37, Tom Yarrall 34 and James Holmes with an excellent 44, St Paul's fought their way back into the match by scoring 216. St Paul's then demolished Lindisfarne in the second innings for only 78 chiefly through another excellent opening spell by Tom Yarrall with 3 for 6 and Matthew Fisher four for 24. Both bowlers bowled extremely well and thoroughly deserved their excellent figures as St Paul's recorded a comprehensive 10 wicket win.
