The Willows won the toss and elected to bat on a rather green wicket. Batting in the early stages proved difficult against the demanding Burnside bowlers and Andrew Johnstone had to work hard to score his 36. At one stage The Willows were 106 for 8 and a low score looked inevitable. However a cameo innings from Phil Harris, who scored an unbeaten 41 off 35 balls, saw The Willows score a respectable 178. A shower of rain in the middle of The Willows innings shortened the game to 43 overs.

In reply, Burnside struggled after losing three early wickets and were eventually bowled out for 96. Matt Latham and James Boock were the best of The Willows bowlers, both capturing three wickets. J Hammond was the pick of the Burnside batsmen.
