The Juniors slammed their way to a sizeable 186, two players retiring after reaching their half century.

Austin Hymas looked set to knock off his own 50 with ease, but ran himself out on 7, frozen halfway up the wicket.

Skipper AK Southey knocked off five boundaries but was bowled at 34. Jim Thornhill, making a guest appearance from Australia, was undefeated as usual, returning at the end of the batting to add two to his 50.

Mike Haycock also shone with 21 runs, but the Fallopians had fallen behind the pace and the innings drew to a close 46 runs short
