Ballan/Brown Hill 6/123 def Golden Point 6/86
Bowling – Charlotte Wallace 1/3, James Bayard 1/4
Golden Point batted first with regular wickets and some very disciplined bowling making it hard to score. Charlotte Wallace combined with Ed Sullivan (Brown Hill) to remove the opener who was starting to look comfortable. James then took a caught and bowled. Both Jai and Riley kept it tight with some line bowling.
A steady top order made a solid start to the innings before the middle order came in towards the end to make small contributions to a total of 123 securing us the win and gaining the team some confidence and great game experience for the new year.

After setting the tone last week, Ryan Lister continued his fantastic run securing his maiden century off just 65 balls. At the crease, Ryan was well supported by Max Hoey as he made his way to a tough 21. This helped guide our team to a solid 6/246. With the ball Ryan Lister was unstoppable again, taking a marvellous 5/11. Everyone else also played their role throughout this game and it paid off massively.
