RSL also notched a first-up win, beating Civeo by 43 runs in the Saturday night game.

The association is playing the first two rounds as Twenty20s with one game played Friday night and the other Saturday.

In the Friday night fixture, Tatts overcame a bit of a shaky period through the middle to post 8-107 from their 20 overs.

Tom Craig was the innings anchor, top-scoring with 31 at first drop and sharing valuable partnerships with Twenty20 skipper Chris Higgins (20) and then Brendan Ward (15).

He and Ward put on 42 for the sixth wicket to get Tatts’ innings back on course after,  following a 25-run stand between Craig and Higgins, they lost 3-3.

Dylan Segundo then helped them get over the 100 hump with a quick nine at the end.

The Golf Club bowlers shared the wickets around, with Tim Hayne nabbing 2-15, Brady Jenkins 2-11, and Ryan O’Neill, Craig Trindall and Luke Barton all chiming in with a wicket.

Segundo was then outstanding with the ball early, claiming 2-6 from his four to set Golf Club’s run chase back from the outset.

They never really recovered and could only muster 70 in reply.

Ryan Meppem made almost half of those, top-scoring with 27.

If not for him and elder brother Luke (11), Golf Club could have finished up with a lot less, with the two putting on 30 for the fourth wicket.

Craig Gleeson and Luke Warby followed up on Segundo’s good work, with Gleeson taking 3-12 and Warby 3-16.

James O’Brien (1-14) and Mitchell Lawty (1-14) shared the other two wickets.

In the other game, RSL batted first and posted 7-107 from its 20 overs, with Shane McKenzie hitting 27 and Shane Murphy and Sandeep Singh 22 each.

Civeo’s chase then started horribly, with Ed Pavey dismissed the second ball of the innings.

Lachlan Cameron (18) and Nick Smart (20) steadied things briefly but there wasn’t much after them and they were all out for 64.

McKenzie and Singh backed up their efforts with the bat to lead the charge with the ball, Singh claiming four wickets and McKenzie three.
