Glenwood went into bat and lost two early wickets thanks to Matthew Pollard bowling a great line and length finding the edges of the bat and great catches from keeper Brandon McCabe and slip Caleb Pillay.
This prompted some great pressure from the Westville team both with the bowling and backed up with awesome fielding by the team leading to a regular fall of wickets thanks to the pressure. This allowed off spinner Seth Rajakumar to take 5 wickets for 34 runs. Glenwood were dismissed for 120 runs giving Westville another great victory this season of 148 runs.
