Leagues formulated great partnerships, but Jake Breed and Sam Casey restricted them with important wickets.
Leagues were 5/127 at one stage, but lower order hitting propelled them to 9/215.
Matt Foster was the best with the ball, taking 3/12 off four overs.
With the bat, regular wickets did not help the team’s cause.
Cooper Smith, Andy Fattore and Sam Casey were the notable scorers.
