Also just falling just short of a century was Engadine 12A’s Brendan Curtis who was bowled St John Bosco’s Jamie Lightfoot on 92. Lightfoot took 2/10 And Joe Darlington 2/14 in Engadine’s 6/199 off 50 overs.

Max Clement of Caringbah 14D was the pick of the bowlers for the day taking 5/5 off 4 overs to see opponents Engadine dismissed for 72. All round ten matches will be completed on Saturday March 7.
