The Burnside Foxes (187/7) beat St Albans (140 all out) at Lancaster Park. A cobbled together Foxes managed a rare victory this summer, with Matthew Everest at the helm while Dave Robertson was busy cutting shapes at Electric Avenue, and resorting to SMS to keep tabs on our progress. Burnside batting first managed a solid opening stand of 64. Stefan Pienaar and Jeff Roy batted with confidence, before Roy was run out in comical fashion (No, Yeah, No, Nah Yeah, Bugger) for 34, and Pienaar followed shortly after for 27 (73 for 2). Everest was scoring freely before falling to a one-handed screamer

Syd Hosp was put into bat on a slow surface. Eagle picked up both openers in his second over, but a good fightback saw Syd go into the last over before drinks still two down with 62 on the board. Potty swung the advantage in our favour with the wicket of their top scorer just before the break. Four more wickets just after drinks reduced Syd Hosp to 87-7 before some lusty blows by the lower order got them through to 144.
