Quins 2 batted first setting a target of 123 runs, unfortunately being dismissed in the 29th over with 11 overs not used up. Quins were unable to prevent East Coast from surpassing the target which they did in the 34th over with three wickets remaining.
Quins third team versed UKZN 3 in a 30 over a side division one match at Harlequins one. UKZN 3 batted first and accumulated 109 runs, being dismissed in the 28th over. Quins 3 responded exceptionally well with opening batsmen Warren Torguis top scoring with 43 runs, the other opener, Brett Williams, made 28 runs and Lloyd Watts was undefeated on 17 runs to take Quins through to a deserved victory by seven wickets in the 22nd over.
The fourth side took on Delta five in a 30 over division two match at Harlequins 2. Quins 4 managed a reasonable total of 128 runs, being dismissed in the 23rd over. Quins 4 managed to bowl Delta 5’s last batsman out with the team six runs short of tying the match in the 22nd over.
