The left arm opening bowler sent down 7.1 overs, which included three maidens and at one stage collected six League scalps for three runs from 15 deliveries.

Earlier in the day Kentucky had set League what seemed like a modest total of 114 runs on the synthetic strip closest to the Uralla Road after Brad Partridge top scored with 34 runs and was assisted by Greg Buckland who knocked up 27.

Most successful bowler for League was teenager Thomas Boyd with 3/23 off his seven overs, opener Luke Brennan chipped in taking 2/19 off 10 economical overs during which time he consistently beat the bat while evergreen Peter Boyd took 2/13 off four overs.

In reply League were in all sorts of trouble at 2/0, 4/1 and 6/3 before they ‘recovered’ to reach 7/17 before finishing with 8/20, 9/26 and 10/27.

Number four batsman Peter Boyd was the one League player to bother the scorers reaching double figures but only just. Spinner Adrian Walsh grabbed 2/5 and Brad Partridge sent down three overs before finishing with 1/1.

In the other match both teams were short of players before the eight man Bowling Club team lowered the flag of a nine player Colts outfit for the first time this season. Colts batted after winning the toss chalking up 71 runs thanks mainly to Phil Mawhinney (three 4s and one 6) 23 runs and Cameron Little on 18. Leading Bowling Club wicket keeper was Cameron Sweeney after he captured 3/14 before then compiling a game high 35 runs (five 4s and one 6) to complete his man of the match performance. Openers Hayden Sweeney 2/4 off five overs and Chris Watts 2/36 off eight overs helped out as did Steve Eveleigh with 1/11.

Bowling Club was in trouble early after their first four batsmen were dismissed with 40 runs the board before the Sweeney brothers Cameron and Hayden (12 not out) steered the Bowling Club ship home. Colts openers Cameron Little 2/22 and Paul Pittman 2/27 tried to keep their team in the match before Hugh Morgan picked up the token wicket of Cameron Sweeney after Bowling Club had passed their assignment.

In the final round this weekend League travel out of town to take on Round Swamp whereas Colts are up against Kentucky at the Park in a dress rehearsal of the major semi final. Point Score: Colts 56, Kentucky 50, Bowling Club 44, Round Swamp 40 and Rugby League 34.
