Another stunning sunny day in Loburn saw The Willows take on King’s High School from Dunedin.

The Willows batted first and compiled a formidable tally of 273/8 on a pretty lively deck.

Notable performances with the bat included a quick fire 39 from Michael Goldstein and lovely innings from Mark Weeds with some very elegant cover drives. Other contributions included Maulik Patel 32, Cameron Rennell 34, and Willie Nicholls 35.

King’s struggled to maintain any lasting partnerships and steadily lost wickets throughout their innings. Although they fell well short of the target, you could see some very talented players with a lot of potential.

A great spell of bowling from James Tapper with 5/21 caused most of the damage.

Umpires: C Fenwick & T McLisky
