Round 16, second last round before finals, was kicked off by the Heavy Rollers and the Son’s of Pitches. A new opening combination of Troyden Thorpe and Glenn Waterhouse didn’t work for the Rollers, as Waterhouse was out for a second ball duck, caught and bowled by Surrall. Dave La Motte struck an unbeaten 25, as did the skipper Paul Keen and Ross Gibson, while number 11 Mick Barnes was resolute at the bottom with a classy, and undefeated 14 to his name. Brett Wood, the Pitches' skipper, was the pick of the bowlers with 2 for 20 from his 2 overs, while Dennis Armour and Braden Surrall both took 1 for 11 from their allocated overs. The Heavy Rollers made 7 for 171; a more than competitive score with their bowling line up. Requiring 8.6 an over, Surrell and Blincow took 27 from the first three overs, with Blincow retiring on 25 runs. Armour continued his good game with 21 runs while Dan Wilde struck 26 before being caught by Annadale of the Rollers. Craig Bazzell hit 24 runs, but the Son’s of Pitches could only manage 9 for 144 from their allotted overs and fell 27 runs short.
