St Andrew’s College 241/7

R Mariu 67, H Darling 48, J Frew 28, D Cornish 51

The Willows 148

R Frew 38, T McKay 2/23, Z Foulkes 2/19, R Mariu 2/16

The Willows
lost by 93 runs

The Willows looked to have put out a good line up with a mixture of young and old, plus old boys of the college. The team had what was considered a reasonable bowling list with: Tapper, Mugford, McFedries, McBreen-Smith and a couple of old hands in M Johnston and P McEwan. Bring on the STAC batsmen.

Apart from getting an early wicket the STAC batsmen dominated the bowlers. Rhys Mariu and Harrison Darling put on over 100 for the second wicket before Jesse Frew and Dominic Cornish really pushed the scoring along. After the 50 overs STAC had made an impressive 241 for 7.

When The Willows came to bat the STAC bowlers and the fielders put pressure on all the batsmen; with seven being bowled and the other three run out. Only Robbie Frew with 38 runs kept the STAC bowlers at bay. The Willows mustered only 148 in just 38 overs.

Well played STAC – look out next year.
