Round 2 – 4th XI
The 3rd XI has put themselves into a dominant position after week 1 of the first 2-day game after rolling their opposition, Fremantle Mosman Park, for 95.

The 1st XI, bowling first, restricted Swan Valley to 125. Ben Panter (3/25), Gaurav Tiwari (3/33), Lochlan White (2/12) and Jerra Smith (2/25) the wicket takers. In response, the 1st XI are in a little trouble at stumps slumping to 7/80 in their run chase. Julian Lane (22) and Jerra Smith (21no) the highlights so far. Some hard work to do early next week.

A controversial day with the 4th XI game. Bowling first, the 4th XI did well to restrict Bassendean to 122 or 121 with the scorebooks in dispute. Junaid Chaudhry (4/8) bowled beautifully and was assisted with Tony Donatelli (4/18) who made the early inroads. In the run chase the 4th XI was all out for 121. Junaid Chaudhry (25) the main run scorer. This game will be decided by the association following a scorebook investigation.
