Openers Marcus Brook 2-22 and Richard 'Scooby' Padmore 1-19 both bowled tight and restricted the visitors until the drinks break. With the wickets spread about Ian 'IJ' Jacobs on his return proved that with a Veteran amount of experience you don't need pre-season, as he bowled an impressive spell that ended with 3-28. Skipper Lee Newton swept up the tail as usual and ended with 3-20. All in all the Oaktree XI continued their impressed displays in the field and restricted the visitors to 105 all out on a tricky wicket.
