Riding Mill succumbed to a strong Genetics side on Sunday at Close House. Batting first, the two Andrews sisters Jeffery and Porteous made a strong start before they were both bowled for 19 and 18. Mike Gardner batted well before he was bowled, and then followed a middle order collapse before Chris Mee came in and top scored with 37, taking the score to 135. The Riding Mill innings never really took off and although they still had wickets left, they preferred to bat out the overs (maybe we should have told them it wasn’t a timed game), and Genetics won by 33 runs.
