It was a day of sweet revenge for The Willows side whose performance was far superior to that which resulted in an embarrassing defeat last season.

The Willows side was boasting a pretty talented order which resulted in four out of the top five batsmen scoring 43 or more. New Zealand under 19 and Canterbury A representative Tom Latham, was the top scorer for The Willows with 72 off just 64 balls including a 96 run partnership with Paul Duncan for the second wicket.

St. Andrew’s got off to a terrible start in their innings losing a wicket off their first ball, but fought on resolutely thanks largely to B. Butterick and J. Tapper, the latter enjoying a good all round performance by taking four wickets in The Willows innings. Martin Kain was the most successful bowler for The Willows with figures of 3/16 off ten overs.

Overall, a very successful day for the home side.
