The average age of our XI away to Springfield yesterday was less than 21. We think that's probably the youngest ever team to play a senior game for us.

On a flat track, we amassed a remarkable 282 for 6 in our 35 overs. Sam Figg, captain for the day, hit a solid 71 before retiring. But the star performer was Olly Hartnell with the second century of his burgeoning career. Olly also retired 100 not out.

With a huge target to chase, Springfield struggled to keep up with the required rate and soon began loosing wickets. Max Smith with 4 for 16 in his 6 overs was the most successful bowler. Joe Scanlon (1) and Charlie Bennett (20 picked up the others as Springfield ended their 35 overs with 158 for 7.
