After reviving their chances with an impressive performance against Greater Illawarra, the under-16 boys lost both of their Twenty20 clashes after failing to fire with the bat.

Up against Western first-up Central North found themselves in early trouble but managed to post 9-111 off their 20 overs. 

Beau Parnell led the way with the bat with 23, with bowling hero from the previous day, Jack Sylvester, and Ben Crebert both hitting 17.

Western in reply passed the runs in the 18^th over six wickets down.

THE STORY SO FAR:

Cotter Litchfield was the best of the bowlers with 2-23.

Litchfield was for their second game against Riverina elevated to the top of the order and made the most of it hitting 24.

Riverina chased the runs down in the 16^th over, Cameron Wynn (2-17) Central North’s best performer with the ball.
