St Paul's bowled first against Lindisfarne and had immediate success to have Lindisfarne 24 for 5. St Paul's were guilty of bowling a little waywardly with 20 extras and Lindisfarne staged a mini recovery before the spin of Eli Spadoni 2 for 18 and pace of Tom Yarrall 2 for 12, Simon Morbey 2 for 18 and Chris Swanson 2 for 16 combined to bowl Lindisfarne out for 138. St Paul's then had to work hard to be 48 for 2 at stumps on day one.
Day 2 was all St Paul's with Alastair Blackett 49 and Chris Swanson with a magnificent 154 firstly batting through the difficult first hour and then flourished alongside Tom Yarrall 57, Simon Morbey 54 and Declan Keaney 30 not out as St Paul's racked up a massive 406 for 8 declared. This was Swanson’s 5th century for the school and his second consecutive hundred.
In the second innings St Paul's bowled with much better control and held their catches in the field with only one wide conceded to have Lindisfarne floundering at 78 for 7 at stumps on day 2.
Day 3 saw St Paul's quickly mop up the tail to bowl Lindisfarne out for only 86 to complete a win by an innings and 182 runs. Tom Yarrall 3 for 7 and Bede Higgens 3 for 34 had the best figures of the innings.
