The 2nd XI enjoyed a close match with Beacon at Orleton Park, which they edged by the narrow margin of 13 runs. Captain Alex Taylor (59*) led the way with the bat, propelling his side to what was a par score of 158-9. Matt Pitchford (24) and Stewart Black (22) were the only other home batters to impress on the scorers. After the break, Matt Stinson produced a grinch-like return with the ball, surrendering just three runs in his eight overs and claiming two wickets in the process. Henry Morris and Ryan Fernando claimed two wickets each, but Beacon ran the match very close thanks to Jamie Martindale’s 42.
