The Willows 158/9

R Frew 33, M Parr 15*

The Willows
won by 1 wicket

The Willows lost the toss and STAC batted first on a green, slow wicket which did not assist the fast bowlers, but was conducive to stroke play. STAC lost a couple of early wickets but Jesse Frew applied himself very well to score an excellent 63. J Hutton and W Anderson helped the scoreboard and STAC finished with 155 off 47 overs. The wickets for The Willows were well spread with S Fowkes bowling five overs for just 6 runs.

The Willows believed that this was an achievable score. However after a good start from Robbie Frew and Will Dunstan The Willows regularly lost wickets to eventually find themselves at 130 for 9 wickets. Enter the last pair of Matt Parr and Adrian McFedries. While under pressure from the STAC bowlers, the tail-enders managed to bring The Willows home by one wicket with a few balls to spare. It was an excellent day for all the players and the supporters.
