St Paul's batted first on a sweltering day and were struggling early till Alastair Blackett 40 and Chris Swanson 23 steadied the ship. However the day belonged to Reuben Andrews who played superbly in scoring 109 his first century for the 1st XI. Andrews had been in excellent form lately and deserved to get through to this major milestone. Coach Mark Bailey 53 and Aubrey Fish 23 also batted well as St Paul's posted 317 from 56 overs.
In reply Hinuera came out swinging hard but were no match for an accurate St Pauls bowling attack back up by sound catching in the field. Eli Spadoni again bowled well for 2 for 16 and also took an excellent run out, while Blackett, Scott Spence and Mitchell Bailey all took 2 wickets each as Hinuera were bowled out for 122. This was an excellent win over a side who had beaten us back in November.
