The effect of rain over the weekend left all matches interestingly placed or unfortunately abandoned week 1.
1st grade won the toss and elected to bat against a star studded norths line up, with Norths openers Joe Burns and Tom Healy making a very cautious start. Brendan Doggett and Blake Edwards started very well with the ball but were unlucky not to get rewarded. Aiden Watterson made an immediate impact coming into the attack leading into lunch with a 9 over spell resulting in wicket of Healy, caught at gully by skipper Pat Collins for 11. Brendan Doggett struck after lunch removing test opener Joe Burns LBW for 64 a ball before the rain called play for the day with Norths 2 – 91.
2nd Grade were 4 – 99 when rain halted play against Norths
3rd grade took on gold coast at cheltenham oval and once again rain halted play for the day with wests 2 – 41 with Charles Matthews (17) and skipper Trent Kenny (16) the not out batsmen.
4th grade have Gold Coast 2 – 25
5th grade – no result
6th grade are 2 – 17 vs valleys
Lords Taveners were on the way to a victory against Sandgate, wests posted 7 – 214 with Ryan Gibson top scoring with a well made 59 ans was well supported by Jack Sonter (35) and Ravijit Buttar (28). In reply wests had Sandgate 2 – 5 when rain intervened with Jack Sonter having 2 – 3.
