The Rissi captain elected to field first on a very hot day at the Northleach Arena, and saw the home opening partnership put 171 runs on the board within 26 overs until the fall of the first wicket. Both Jordan Blackmore (90) and Glen Crompton (109) were in fine form as they struck boundaries and took singles at ease. Mark Larner (36) continued the momentum as the Rams built a large score of 276 for 6 within their allotted overs, with John Robson falling to a first-baller from Brian Brain against his former club!

 

The Rissi reply started well with young Charlie Garratt striking the ball well, but the rest of the batting line-up failed to perform against a withering display of fast bowling from Flammy Wellman. The total of 121 all out reflected the excellent display of bowling and fielding from the home side, with Richard Blundell and Captain Dickie Hemming both taking 4 wickets.
