Cricket Web Red vs Cricket Web Blue
at the CW Oval
Despite a late innings surge from Tom Halsey and Adam Collins, the Blue batting came up just short of the chase, losing by 5 runs to CW Red. The Reds scored 269/8, with Rob Dauth's quickfire hundred central in the effort.
In defence, no one Red bowler stood out. Rather, four separate bowlers took wickets, and a fine half-century from Blue captain Sean Fuller simply wasn't enough in the end.
CW Red 269/8 (50 overs)
CW Blue 264/7(50 overs)
CW Red won by 5 runs
Man of the Match: RJ Dauth
Cricket Web Colts vs Cricket Web Green
at the Bellerive Oval
Despite a brisk start to their run chase, the Greens were spun silent by the Colts in the middle overs, failing to chase just 228 for victory. The Colts spinners combined for stunning figures of 26-1-89-3, and the Greens never quite got the impetus at the very end.
Earlier, Towns elected to bat first on a good looking pitch. However, aside from Das' half-century, no one fully capitalized. Towns and Malthus-Howell contributed solidly, but a typical Colts collapse ended the innings at a modest 227.
Feeney was off like a shot for Green, but Hancock's double strike was perfect prelude to the Colts spin.
CW Colts 227 ao (49.1 overs)
CW Green 212 ao (48 overs)
CW Colts won by 15 runs
Man of the Match: DJ Comley
