Position in Comp and likely finish – 7^th will finish either 6^th or 7^th

WPHC Red 269 Vs Hornsby – we arrived at Greenup Park unsure of what state the ground would be in. The lighter rain in Castle Hill had left the pitch in a playable condition. The coin landed our way and we chose to bat.

The innings got off to a tough start, losing 2 quick wickets in the 4th over. Ian Paterson (34) shrugged off the conditions and took it to the Opposition. Patto found the boundary with ease, including a six that nearly landed on top of his own car! When Patto was dismissed we were 5/60 and in danger of being rolled cheaply.

Sandeep Darapuneni (20) and Brent Larkham started to build an important partnership Sandeep was unlucky to be out stumped by a ricochet off the keepers pads. Matt Digby (22) joined Brent at the crease, and the pair made a great 56 run partnership.

Brent’s next partnership was worth 73, with Naps scoring just 3 of those runs! Brent brought up his 50 in 29 overs, but his 2nd 50 took just 6 overs! He was eventually dismissed for 115 and left us with a total we can defend! Brent’s ton was his first and it was all class. It was also our 460^th ton. The 10^th wicket partnership between Rob and Brent of 73 is also a Club C2 record.

Position in Comp and likely finish – 6^th will finish either 6^th or 7^th
