In the first game the newest team to the comp team Redfern took on the seasoned veterans of the Farmers team.
The Redfern team batted first and scored a very respectful 141 from their 20 overs. The major contributors with the bat were the two opening batsmen, with WA Redfern who scored 25 and MC Redfern who top scored with 56.
For the farmers the best bowler was Hugh Morris who got 3-10 from his two overs including a hat trick which started at the end of his first over and went into his second over.
The Farmers innings in reply to the Redfern's got off to a bad start with the team quickly 3 down for only 37 runs, however, Sam Barton (49 no) attempted to lead a middle order revival but tight bowling from the Redfern's and a constant stream of wickets meant that the Farmers never really threatened with the bat and ended up falling 10 runs short of the total set by the Redfern's.
The best of the bowlers for the Redfern's was Bart Redfern who got 2- 21 from three overs and C. Ridley who took 2-12 from his two overs.
