The Willows were comprehensively outplayed in this match after winning the toss and bowling on an encouraging wicket for seamers. After nine overs, the Bedeans were 3/27. Following St Bede’s slow start, The Willows didn’t have the firepower to break through the middle order, with the St Bede’s total of 233 formed around a mature innings of 78 by Mitchell Kerr. The Willows, with a batting order adequately represented in proportion by a tadpole (mostly tail), never fired with the bat and stumbled to a sorry 118 in 40 overs. Unsurprisingly, the Bedean bowlers shared the wickets and took the trophy to the Rector’s desk once again.
