Davis Shield heads to Warwick

By Casey O'Connor

Warwick secured the Davis Shield with a runaway win over Stanthorpe at the weekend.

After losing the toss Warwick were sent in and their openers Sean Bryson (32) and Doherty (41) quickly summed up the wicket and set a good platform for what would ultimately be a winning total of 257.

The middle order batted very well.

Pat Gordon (73) top scored before he was caught by Filmer off a delivery from Bulow.

Lachie Boal added 44 before he was caught by Rutley off a delivery from Filmer.

The running between the wickets was a highlight of the innings. Warwick lost eight wickets as they charged to 257.

In reply, the home side struggled with the bat. Matt Rutley (21) Eddie Filmer (23) and Noah Mackenzie (21) were the best for Stanthorpe but 257 proved to be beyond their reach.

The Warwick side under the guidance of Luke Cullen bowled and fielded well as the Warwick Bulls and went on to a comfortable win to claim the Dud Davis Shield.

One of the biggest highlights of the game was the spirit in which the game was played. A real credit to both teams.
