The son won the toss but the father won the match. A first for The Willows saw father and son, Graham and Lee Moore, captain rival teams. Asked to bat first, a strong looking Willows batting line up was soon struggling at 51/4 as opening bowlers Andrew Rodgers and Richard Johnston shared the early spoils for the Country XI.

Mike Satterthwaite then steadied the ship with a polished half century and received good support from Tim Coop in a partnership of 69 for the 5th wicket. Greg McCarthy and Richard Abbott produced valuable runs late in the innings to see The Willows through to 190. Rodgers picked up two more wickets in his second spell to finish with impressive figures, while young off-spinner, Jed Robertson, also bowled well. Adam Baker held two smart slip catches for the boys.

The Country openers Micah Campbell and Lee Moore began the chase for the target with real aggression. However, when Moore departed in the 6th over, caught by his father, with the team score at 28, Tony Doody produced a lethal three over spell in which he captured five wickets for just six runs. At 34/6 the Country tail enders faced too big a challenge and the team were eventually dismissed for 69.
