Breaking News....1sts beat leaders but 2nds and 3rds lose

Saturday Scores Digest:
1sts
Chased down Watsonians' 174 all out for the loss of 5 wickets on a very tricky wicket. KF led the way with 46; useful contributions from Spickers, EC, CA, Dougie and Psycho - and extras. In the first half Killer and Bimbo led off with disciplined opening spells, and the Doctor got rid of key man Crosby - cje was able mop things up with his 1st EVER 5-for, including their skip Breach who made a battling 83.

But ultimately it was all down to the skipper's inspired bowling change.... obviously...ask him about it....at least KF didn't start laughing till he took the catch.

Watsonians 2 174ao (D. Breach 85, V. Saisubramanian 19, C. Ellis 5/20)
Holy Cross 176-5 (K. Fraser 46, E. Smith 28, J. Bates 25*, S. Pickering 23).
