Genetics took the game against St Teresa’s at Heaton on Tuesday, but had to work hard for the points. St Teresa’s batted first and lost John Harrison early on to Chris Mee, after having an earlier appeal against the same batman rejected. St Teresa’s then steadied their innings and it was once again up to Chris Mee to take 2 more wickets to remove the top order. Davy Heslop chipped in with 2 wickets, but the 7th wicket (and that valuable bowling point) remained as elusive as ever, St Teresa’s finishing on 93 for 6. In reply, Mike Gardner (23) and Jon Robinson (52 not out) batted superbly to leave the result of the match in no doubt, and Dion Krishnan came in at the end to make a quick-fire 19 not to gain victory by nine wickets. So 8 points gained, Genetics need to win their last league game against old rivals CCC to ensure title glory.
