Genetics elected to bat and were greeted with superb bowling by James Morris and Chad. James wes getting good lift and generated a good catch for Matt behing the stumps then removed some stumps all in his first over. Chad also bowled two out after beating the bat several times. Genetics were 20 for 4 and struggling after six overs: James 3-0-13-2, Chad 3-1-12-2. Time for a change so Don 3-0-8-0 and Rob Burns 3-0-10-1 kept up the pressure. Another change by skipper Alan saw Roy 2-0-13-1 and newcomer, young Josh Koen 2-0-13-2, justify their opportunities. James Davidson and Matt combined well for a run out. With the last ball of the match, and Genetics on 76-9, it was a superb throw to the far end by Matt that won Rowlands the final bowling point rather than Genetics getting their batting point.
The Rowlands openers, James Davidson and Ritchie Evans took command of the opening bowlers and progressed at a steady 7 an over until Ritchie was bowled for 14 by change bowler Tim Davis. James stayed in control as Sunil went for 1 and Alan for 4 both out to Davis, bowling well for his 4-0-15-3. Roy 13 not out with steady, Man of the Match James not out 32 obtained the required runs. Rowlands 77-3 off 11.0 overs took maximum points.
