Rochester battled with the bat after winning the toss, but up and down the order they couldn’t keep the runs flowing with any consistency.

Wickets fell at regular intervals over the 40-odd overs Rochy was at the crease, but only four batters managed double figure scores as the host was removed for 116.

Cale James was the best with the bat, making a gritty 21 from 46 deliveries.

Jeremy Felmingham struck early, removing both openers and finishing 3-17, and Liam Hamilton did damage later in the order, also taking three wickets.

Defending a low total, Rochester had some joy early on with the ball, removing the Lions top three for modest scores, but Kade Pearse (39 not out) and Thanvi Choudhury (29 not out) came together to get BLU to the total only three down.

Dylan Cuttriss, Brandon Byrne and Myles Wade were the Rochester wicket-takers.
