Nick and Owen got a steady run rate but lost wickets due to run outs, with the final batting pair of Keaton and Ethan notching up a 27 run partnership.
The rain stopped when Old Albanian went into bat. The 1st batting pair George and Joe faced strong bowling by Keaton and Ethan losing 4 wickets with a great catch by Nick. Scott and Ansh also playing their 1st game batted well for 22 runs. Steady bowling from Ben and Dan hitting the stumps in his 1st over.
