Round 5 against Seven Hills was a 53 run loss (C North 64) with round 6 our first win together as a full squad, beating Wenty Waratahs by 18 runs (S Kalia 34 & 3/28 & D Cope 3/19). A second innings commenced with C North 80 & C Springall 50 putting the result beyond doubt. Our round 7 game figured an unusual result...a tie! Both Greystanes and ourselves were all out for 130. We batted first and was all out at 4pm (S Kalia 51) and they ended the day 3/89. Day 2 we dug deep to take the remaining 7 wickets for 41 runs, tying the match (R Cope 4/44). Their 130 included a "dubious" run, one that no other team in the competition would have taken. Match 8 was the first of the one dayers against Hills Barbars and we managed 8/176 off our 42 overs (C Springall 35 & J Thompson 30). We started poorly with 25 runs going off David Cope's first 2 overs. His next 8 overs were much better, ending up with 6/44 in total including 3 wickets in 4 balls, Barbars all out for 160, even though we did have them 8/88. 3 points off the lead at Christmas...who would have thought!!
