The early arrival of players at Fernvale A meant a stress-free beginning to the season for the skipper. Clive won the toss and decided to bat with the instruction to bat the 30 overs. James and Garry gave a solid opening stand of 26. Chris Walker came out and proceeded to bat beautifully holding the innings together. Support came from Geoff Forday, Chiro and Rohan before we ended at 7/150. The III's leadership group (Clive and Phil) lasted 3 balls (2 of them legal) for 0 runs. A solid start to the season but may be 30 runs short of what we needed.
Horizon came out batting like a whirlwind reaching 1/51 after 6 overs. Rohan and John Dick came on slowing things down with them 1/105 after 12 overs. They maintained that rate ending up passing us in 18 overs.
I was happy with solid batting of many and the bowling and fielding was good. We need to score a few more runs and slow the opposition down.
Chris Walker 66 off 57 balls, 1 for 32
Garry Hawker 17
Chiro 15
Clive 1 for 34
Rohan 1 for 35
