Following the draw in the previous week the wheels well and truly fell off the Cardiff Northern bandwagon. Being put into bat and with the openers given strict instructions to get themselves in the game plan was over in the first over when Brett raised his finger and sent an incandescent Jimmy back to the sidelines without a run on the board. Jones holed out to long-off and Brain, Chedzoy, Willacott and Perkins all saw their stumps shattered. Only a plucky stand by Dan Jones (9) and David Manley (10) brought any respectability to the score. Once Jones was gone Manley was finally bowled trying to slog to the boundary and when Ryan fell for his second duck the innings was all done for 48.
Northern needed wickets early and Gareth and Ashley both started with a maiden over each but when Chedzoy was crashed through the onside boundary for successive boundaries the Suburbian openers eased themselves to the required 49 in the 11th over.
