Losing the toss, our boys bowled first and eventually bowled Christchurch Boys' out for 182 with Luke Ritchie taking 5 for 20 and Harry Bezett (2 wickets) and Alfie Omelvena-Flame (3 wickets) picking up the rest. 

In reply our boys were seriously wobbling at 36 for 3, until Toby McLean (24) shared in a 48 partnership with Ollie Turnbull. Following this Ollie and Ashton Hansen both scored 62 not out each to see our boys home for victory by 6 wickets with 9 overs to spare. A wonderful game and a great victory. 

It was a great honour to play on Christchurch Boys' number 1 wicket. Thanks to them for being great hosts. 

It is now time to keep working hard and bring the Vettori Shield south in December!
