A new look College 1st XI, with eight playing either their debut or second 1st XI match, took to the field. Runs started to flow with old boys Felix Huston and Lachie Harper quick to deposit anything short or off-target to the boundary.

Next in, was the Canterbury player Harry Chamberlain who looked equally as ominous. While the introduction of spin brought further wickets, Felix kept motoring along and Keryn Ambler took the spinners, hitting them all over the place with multiple fours and sixes. By this stage Felix had reached a brilliant century, Keryn his 50, and Louie Garry claimed his fourth wicket after a couple of classy outfield catches and a stumping.

Lunch was taken. The College lads knew they were up against it. They struggled to get going and despite their best efforts, the bowling attack of Ben Breitmeyer, Chris Nicolson, Adam Hastilow and Paddy Ryan proved to be far too good. Even after some lusty blows by Archie Huston, batting at number seven, the team came up well short. Team management felt, despite the large margin, that the boys could take some solid learnings from the game and move forward knowing they are the better for the experience.
