Metro Green: RPC 7-285 (dec) and 4-72 (dec) vs Mosman 161 and 4-87 @ Balmoral Oval – Match Result: Won on 1st Innings
Mosman resumed Day 2 from 34/0 on a good batting wicket at Mosman. Mark Wall and Alexis Coovre opened the Day 2 bowling for RP Green team. Mosman opening batters played some atrocious shots and made some quick runs before Mark Wall got the first breakthrough for the team. After the first breakthrough, Mosman batters just fall apart like a pack of cards, all dismissed for 161 runs after 40.4 overs. The star of the day is the Mark Wall, his intimidating pace with swing bowling was way too much for the Mosman batters and rewarded with 6/76 off 19 overs. Alexis Coovre (2/45 off 13 overs) and Mitch Hunt (2/29 off 8 overs) bowled nicely and supported Mark Wall on the other side. Our fielding effort was 3 times better than the last 3 games, Luis Siddall took 2 sizzling catches in the second slip and this overall boosted our fielding effort. Thanks again to Jeremy Jastrzab for bringing his mate (Gres) who helped us out with the fielding.
With 124 runs lead, RP Green team approached the second innings aggressively and made quick runs (72/4 dec off 14 overs) and pushed the lead to 196 runs. With 28 overs to bowl in day 2, RP Green were hoping to win the game the outright. Mark Wall bowled well again in the second innings and made early inroads. Mitch Hunt bowled his heart out and took 2 wickets in an over. But Mosman middle order batters switched the gear and started to play to save the game, were crawling 87/4 before we call it a game.
RP Green is thrilled to register the first win for the season after the last 2 disappointed outings. RP Green is looking forward to round 5, against Western Suburbs.

Metro Gold: RPC 116 and 8-125 vs Sydney Uni 8-310 (dec) @ Kensington Oval – Match Result: Locc on 1st Innings
Coming into day 2, behind on 1st innings and 2 players down we knew it was going to be a tough day from the get go. With a few missed chances, we toiled hard in the field. The wickets were shared around with Lee holding down one end (2/72 off 25 overs) and O’Loughlin grabbing 1/79 off 16 and Radakrishnan finishing with figures of 2/51 off 9.
With a difference of 194, we were left with 55 overs to bat through the day. A promising start with Stewart (4 runs) and Parsons (54) with yet another solid performance, backed up by fellow Englishman, Oates (28), we dared to fight off the outright loss, although another middle order collapse hurt our chances. And even with the stubborn fight by tail-enders White (11) and O’Loughlin (15) we had fallen 7 overs short of seeing out the day.
Even though it just wasn’t our day, there are promising signs and just need to show consistency with the potential we have in the team.
