The old boys batted first and scored 96 runs with Liam Winn (Kupe House 2010 – 2014) the highest scorer with a rapid 38 runs and Eckard Becker (Hillary House) starring with the ball taking 4 wickets for 5 runs.
In reply the current 1st XI reached the target with 4 wickets to spare thanks to a good opening partnerships and excellent contributions from Captain Michael Samuel of Hillary House (25 runs), Azza Lambat of Batten House (28 not out) and Diago Asia of Rutherford House (28).
