4th Grade captain Pete Price took a more conventional approach when he won the toss and batted against Beechwood in the heat at Kendall. Although the Havens lost an early wicket the visitors’ morale was soon shattered as Col Harris and Keegan Raccani smashed the ball to all parts of the field. The pair added a 150 partnership with Harris bringing up his first century for the club. Raccani eventually went for 53 and 3 more wickets fell quickly before Harris was finally caught for 138 with the score on 220 but if the visitors thought that was the end of it they were sadly mistaken. Captain Price came together with young Jayden Hudson to put on another century partnership, Price bringing up his half century in just 15 balls, hitting 6 sixes off consecutive balls faced and finishing on 73 no. Hudson made a whirlwind 34 no and the Havens had made 6 for 325 with only 31 overs being bowled in the allocated time. The Beechwood batsmen were never in the race and wickets fell at regular intervals. One of their batsmen showed good skill and application to put together a fine innings of 90 however he lacked support and the Havens bowlers took advantage. Raccani took some stick with the new ball but did pick up a wicket and Zac Hussein continued his good form to claim two scalps. Wayne Smith once again showed his value to the team in taking 3 for 21, Darren Hudson also bowled well for his 3 for 17 and Jayden Hudson took a wicket to have Beechwood all out for 178. The Havens continue to lead the competition and also take on Pirates at Inmon on Saturday.
