JANUARY 8th RESULTS

FIRST XI

It was a day for the club to savour as the beaver first XI celebrated the first win of the season and in doing so found some form that it hopes to carry into 2011.  Skipper Kyle Snyman won the toss and chose to bat first in the one dayer against St.Johns Tecoma.  Jarrod Moody (15) and David Hill (18) again both got starts to remove the shine of the new pill, then after that Kyle (34), Quenten Wells (18) and Tyden Latty (14) all kept the scoreboard ticking over.  A key partnership for the seven wicket developed between returning Nick Whitty (54) and youngster Steve Moore (23). Nicks raw hitting and Steve's poise guided the team to a very competitive 8/189 of the allocated 45 overs.

Speedster Tim Chivers started the ball rolling with the ball collecting an early wicket and after that the boys didn't look back dimmissing St Johns for 132. Kyle (4/13), Tim (3/22) and Steve (2/25) were the pick of the bowlers. It was also a solid display in the field lead by first XI debutant wicket-keeper Lewis Ferguson.

SECOND XI

The good news didn't end there as the second XI continued on the winning way making it 5 straight and cementing a spot in the top four.  Fielding one of their better teams all year the boys headed out to St. johns and were put into the field after losing the toss.  In a polished bowling and fielding display the boys dismissed St.Johns for 140.  The wickets were shared with Paul Hare, Adam Kinniburgh and Jason Hawkins picking up 2 a peice.
