We lost the toss again and were bowling on a flat wicket at Bice. Port got off to a flyer and were 1/120 at lunch. A couple of big partnerships for Port had them in a position to declare 6/364 at the 84 over mark. This left us with 10 overs to bat late on Day 1 which we got through unbeaten finishing the day 0/43.

Best with the ball we’re our spinners with both Shaun Tanner and Mitch Cuming taking 3 wickets each.

On day 2 runs were hard to come by during the first session and we were sitting at 3/85 at lunch. It was a similar story in the second session but we were able to score a few more runs this time as we got to the tea break sitting at 5/167. Still needing just under 200 runs in the last session we needed a partnership to give us a chance of winning. We found a good partnership with Josh Barrett and Young Rilee Endersby putting on 104 runs for the 7th wicket. Unfortunately we were unable to get to the run rate required to chase down the 364 Port set and settled for a draw finishing 7/286 at stumps.

Skipper Josh Barrett managed to bat the entire 106 over innings finishing unbeaten on 151. He was well supported by Rilee who made his first 1st Grade half century.

We won the toss and had a bowl vs East Torrens at Bice Oval. We got off to a good start and were able to pick up wickets consistently throughout the day whilst keeping it tight. At stumps we had East Torrens 7/225. Good reward for some very tight bowling.

Unfortunately day 2 was a washed out due to the rain.

Prospect defeat Southern District

We lost the toss and Prospect had a bat on a damp morning at Prospect Oval. Things started pretty well picking up a few wickets consistently throughout the first morning. With the score at 4/140 midway through the day the game was in the balance. Prospect then put on a good partnership and finished the day at 6/318. Tanner 2/93 was the only multiple wicket taker, with Roberts, Stewart, Marshall all taking 1. Stewart also got a run out. Prospect declared overnight leaving us with 319 to win on Day 2. Things got off to a slow start with the bat with us sitting at 2/53 at lunch. We picked up the pace through the middle session and were 4/157 at tea time. Unfortunately a couple of quick wickets straight after tea left the tail with too much work to do and we were bowled out for 227 with just 7 overs left in the day. Narrowly missing out on a draw.

Barrett 56, Tanner 34, Sugg 31 the leading run scorers.
