On Sunday Redbacks and Vic Hill had an early start at Slade and continued the trend of batting first after winning the toss.

It was a shaky start for Redbacks who were 1/21 after opener Lehman was dismissed for one.

Steve Grogan came to the crease at first drop and top scored with 42.

Others to make it to double figures were Sam Lowney (16), Tyhe Clarkson who was run out on 17 and Mainey (22).

There was a little sting in the Redback’s tail, and they were all out for 147 midway through the 34th over.

Tom Morris led the way with the ball for Vic Hill taking five wickets.

He had Clark and Dwan out LBW and finished with 5/11 including a maiden from his eight overs.

The Redbacks run chase suffered a big setback when Nick Morris was dismissed for one and the score 1/3.

Duff (22) and top scorer Singh (67) put together a handy partnership, but the Redbacks always looked in command.

Despite a defiant 17 from Sandhu down the order, Vic Hill were dismissed for 131 well short of their target in the 33rd over.

Cam Lehman finished with 3/27; Sam Lowney 3/43 and Tyhe Clarkson 2/28.

Sam Grogan bowled tightly without taking a wicket; only five runs scored off his three over spell.

It was solid win for Redbacks.

In round four this week Colts have the bye. Wheatvale play Redbacks; Vic Hill play Sovereign Animals and Maryvale play Allora.
