The away team’s innings started well before Dwayne Kent was caught for 18 and Matt Stephens followed the next ball on just four runs to have the Golf Club reeling at 2-22.

Todd Whalan came and went for 16 and with a steady fall of wickets the Golf Club were 5-58 before Trevor O’Mally and Ray Sayers combined for a 56-run partnership to give some hope to the away side.

O’Mally was eventually dismissed for a superb 53 and Sayers fell a short time later for 18 leaving Warren all out for 127 in the 33rd over.

Buddah’s bowling honours went to Greg Wynn 4/31, Jo McCutcheon 3/26, and A McIntyre 2/20.

With only 10 men Warren were going to struggle to defend 127 but Kent, who bowled 10 overs straight, gave some hope decimating Buddah who were 5-69 at drinks.

Kent bowled an excellent line to claim 4/20 to easily be Warren’s best bowler. But that’s where the side’s joy ended with Buddah cruising to victory in the 28th over thanks to Dave Warren’s well-complied 52 not out and Scott Ceeney’s power hitting to fair 33 not out.

McIntyre rounded out his match with a good 25. The only other wicket-taker for the Golf Club was Todd Whalan 1/34. This week is a general bye due to the Cotton Cup. Warren Golf Club’s next game will be against the Wanderers in Narromine.

Wanderers Crush Trangie at Home

The Wanderers travelled to Trangie to take on the home team on what was a warm Saturday afternoon.

Trangie, after losing one of their opening batsmen without scoring, were able to steady the ship with Bill Tyrwhitt and Brad Naylor putting on a handy 80-run partnership.

When Naylor fell for 27 Trangie’s batting line-up comprehensively collapsed with seven of the last eight batsmen failing to get more than two runs leaving the home side all out for 133 with Bill Tyrwhitt again shining with the bat scoring 74.
