Rolleston's first home game of the season became another easy victory against a surprising Tamworth team who are normally a strong set up at junior level. Charlie Wood winning the toss and putting the visitors into bat proved a good choice, as Bertie Winstone opened up with 3 quick wickets, all bowled, in an excellent couple of overs of swing and great length bowling. From here on in, little resistance was shown to the Rolleston bowling with the captain using 10 bowlers, with the best figures of 2-2-0-3 coming from Charlie as he wrapped up the innings. Rolleston ground fielding was excellent to enable a couple of good run outs.

Rolleston opened there response with Henry Parker and young Brandon Ridgeway, neither batsman looking troubled as they saw off the opening bowlers, once the bowling attack was changed Henry cut loose to reach 24 not out with 3 fours to push Rolleston pass the target in 12 overs.

Rolleston winning by 9 wickets.
