Another defeat for Marios men this week at the hands of Bishop Thornton this week leaves Blubbs fighting for survival in division two with one game remaining in the season. Batting first Blubbs struggle to ninety eight for their twenty overs thanks largely to Piewalkers thirty runs in the closing overs of the innings.
Tight bowling from Sherman (1 - 8), Mario (2 - 17) and Bubba (1 - 7) almost secured Blubbs a miraculous win but Piewalker had other ideas, gifting the hosts with thirty eight runs from nineteen balls as they eased past the winning post with five balls to spare.
