The Tintenbar East Ballina 1st grade side have added another major premiership win to their mantle piece with a victory over defending premiers Souths. The first day was washed out and with only one day to play (100 overs) a draw seemed the most likely of results therefore handing Souths victory as a result of finishing higher on the ladder.

Tintenbar started well by winning and the toss and sending Souths in a slow wicket at Oakes Oval, however things were not going to plan and at lunch the boys had dropped 4 catches with Souths 1 for 89. After lunch the game turned and Souths were bundled out for 194 leaving the Bar boys the hard task of chasing the target down in 32 overs.

The chase started superbly with Phil Dalli and Brett Crawford spanking the ball to all parts of the ground putting on 75 off 10 overs. Tintenbar then lost 3 quick wickets however it was Mick Gabriel who took the game away from the defending premiers with a superb 67 in quick time and his 80 run partnership with captain Duncan Elphick was the match winning partnership. Well done boys.

UP THE BAR.
