The Willows
won by 4 wickets

On an extremely hot Canterbury summer’s day, The Willows captain, much to the disappointment of his players, put the Cavaliers into bat.

Shaun Fitzgibbon and Ben Yock both contributed heavily to the Cavaliers’ score of 303. Mathew Hudson for The Willows bowled tightly and along with John Garry kept the Cavaliers honest.

With the heat still in the mid-30’s, The Willows began their chase. John Garry and Danny Dowds gave us a great start. Graeme Inglis and Jonathan Davidson both completed half centuries and The Willows reached the required score with four overs to spare.

Umpires: John Henderson & D Reid
