Glendelvine started the run chase briskly. Veteran Sandy Baird led the way before being clean bowled by the in form Chris Eyes. Neil Wimberley struck 25 before he, also, was cleaned up by Eyes.
Glendelvine obviously hadn’t been eating their carrots as batsman after batsman returned to a pavilion shrouded in the nights gloom complaining about the poor light The match ultimately finished in almost pitch darkness at 9.15pm. The ever-improving youngster Jo Grace returned a career best of 3 for 8 and was the pick of the Breadalbane bowlers.
