MR2 (9/102) defeated by Dunsborough 2 (9/132): ON a warm morning, on the minefield that is the Dunsborough Primary pitch and oval, MR2 won the toss and captain Alistair Williams decided to bowl. The narrow and treacherous pitch made life difficult for bowlers and keepers of both teams, and Dunsborough started well prior to drinks. MR2 made a comeback in the second half of their bowling innings, led by Darcy Whitelaw with 3/8, and some neat bowling from Alistair Williams and Darcy Currell. Jyah Dodd and Finn Barrett-Lennard also chipped in with some excellent fielding to complete two run-outs. The MR2 batting innings started poorly with both openers out without score, and a succession of early wickets in the top order. Matt Granville (6) was the steady head at the top and batted for a lengthy innings to help build the team's score. Following on from last week's successes, Jyah Dodd (2*) and George Worsley (21) batted well, and alongside Ben Cook and Jake Miller, managed to hold the innings together in the second half when all had looked lost at 6/59. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough however, finishing on 9/102.
