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. We started cautiously in the face of some good bowling, before picking up the run rate. Hampo, Rich, RJ, Iggs and Mantis all got good starts, but none ever looked comfortable and regular wickets meant the total wasn't reached until mid way through the 39th over.
