Heaton Park was the setting for the clash of old rivals and although the result did not go our way, it at least was an excellent match. CCC batted first, and Genetics made early inroads, capturing both openers with the score only on 8. The middle order was made of sterner stuff however, and CCC quickly took the score up to 109 off their 14 overs, Jonty Tarbuck took 2 wickets notwithstanding. The Genetics innings now took on its familiar role of the top order crumbling away, Andy Porteous (16) and Andy Goulding (12) both getting a start before Andrew Jeffery almost stole the game at the end with a swashbuckling 35, before being bowled out going for one bit hit too many. Genetics lost their way in the end to finish on 102 for 8, still just 7 runs short.
