The Temora Bowling Club Tigers defeated the Young Services Club Saints in their clash. Saints Captain Chris Martin said his side batted first and made 167 with only nine players. “We had some of our main batters out, Josh Skinner scored 89 and Brandon Sanderson scored 35,” he said. “We started our bowling well and had the Tigers 4/56. With some great tight bowling again from Brian Munnerley with figures of eight overs, three maidens and one wicket. Brandon and Josh had two wickets each and Shane Wilson three wickets. But then with some sloppy bowling and good batting from Temora they passed our tally in 34th over with the lost of eight wickets. But I thought it was a great effort from the boys who played.”
