Today we won the toss and our Captain Reilly Donlan asked Glenbrook/Blaxland to bat 1st

This let our opposition bat for 38 overs and they scored a very competative 5 for 127.
After the loss of a few early wickets we saw Brent score a quick 38 before drinks to have us in a good position. After drinks Daniel and Mitchell continued the steady run chase to see us through to a good win off only 27 overs. Another strong win, Well played boys
