Of the eleven previous matches The Willows held the advantage by one.

After the opening partnership of 141 between Kennedy (62) and Huyser (85) the signs were ominous. The next nine LNZ wickets fell for 112 runs to leave The Willows chasing 253. McGuire, Humphrey and Wright each took two wickets.

As many international teams include South African talent these days, so did LNZ. The Huyser brothers who as well as scoring almost half the LNZ runs, took three of the first five wickets to fall. Will Wright playing at The Willows for the first time with his father Hugh, top scored with 52.

A comfortable win by LNZ now balances the ledger at six a piece and the Trevor Campbell Trophy disappears for one year.
