St Paul's batted first and scored a reasonable total of 149/6 with Malcolm Luman 26, Jacob Robb 22, James Chenery 20 and Scott Finlayson 20 the main contributors. Malcolm and Scott put on 60 in 24 balls for the second wicket. None of our batsmen unfortunately were able to kick on and post a score as we were restricted to 149/6 after 20 overs – a target of 7.5 runs per over. Hillcrest struggled against the once again superb bowling and fielding of the St Paul’s boys and were eventually all bowled out for 85 in the 16th over. James Chenery 3/26, Josh Malpas 2/19 and three tremendous run outs were the destroyers in chief. St Paul's won by 64 runs.
James has now taken 100 1st XI wickets – an outstanding effort indeed!
Players of the day were James Chenery, Malcolm Luman and Josh Malpas
