The Rugby young gun produced a classy knock on Saturday to help give his side every chance of beating one of the competition's best sides. Opening the batting against Macquarie White, Richards scored 51 and held his own against some of the best bowlers in the competition. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for Rugby as Macquarie White got the win. Anchored the innings for his side. Pettit's knock of 53 helped get CYMS Green over the line in a nail-biting match against Macquarie Blue. The win for CYMS Green keeps them well in the top four with just a single match before the Christmas break. Another week, another impressive batting display. Nawaz has been one of the best batters in the competition so far this season and he was at again on Saturday. The Newtown opener hit 70 from just 84 balls to score almost half his side's runs against CYMS White. Patis may have left the field early during his batting innings but all signs were pointing to a strong performance with the willow. After taking 2/2, Patis was 41 not out when he retired with his side cruising along nicely. The defending premiers looked down and out against the Newtown Tigers at 7/87, that was until Wheatland got going. Chasing 160 to win, the all-rounder was patient against some strong bowling and made 39 not out from just 50 balls. Combining with Jacob Chaseling (30 not out), the duo got their side over the line with more than three overs remaining. Smith's season to date with the bat hasn't been up to the same standard it was last year but he is still finding a way to impact the game. The CYMS White all-rounder took 4/32 from his eight overs on Saturday against the Newtown Tigers, removing Nawaz plus the dangerous Graeme Allen. Classy as always. Wallace was onsong with the ball on Saturday, taking 3/8 from his eight overs to help restrict Rugby to just 153. He then made 27 with the bat when it came time for him to stroll to the crease. She might not have played too many matches so far this season but Tucker is starting to make some noise for Macquarie White. Taking 3/19 against Rugby, Tuckers showed all her skills and looks like one of her side's key bowlers heading into the second half of the season. Another young gun who produced a strong performance against a quality side. George took 3/26 and snared a catch against CYMS Green in their match on Saturday. George helped his side make inroads during the middle of CYMS' innings and his efforts looked like getting Macquarie Blue over the line.
