Match Report:

This was a comfortable win with Goodacre to the fore with the bat, though Repton's total should have been greater if the batsman had shown more enterprise towards the end of the innings.  Runs on the board, rather than wickets in hand, will win the game.  Reynolds bowled a good spell of slow left arm, and Cotter made the opposition batsmen think in his four-over spell.  They were a long way short of our total after their allotted twenty overs - job done.  The next match will be after half term against Derby Grammar or Brookfield.
