It was a glorious day for cricket – the sun was shining and the pitch was in perfect condition. The match got off to a successful start, with Dollar Cricket Club managing to make a total of 78 all out, off 19.4 overs. Only two batsmen got into double figures with tight bowling from Robbie D (Form V) – 4 overs 2 wickets for 9 runs – and Jamie W (Form V) – 4 overs 0 for 8.
Tom M (Form V) was first change and with a wide variety of beamers, bouncers and wides got 3 wickets for only 12 runs. The fielding was generally excellent, with catching going to hand and few boundaries on offer.
