In reply the Halswell Raiders got off to a solid start with the openers doing a good job of seeing off the new the ball in not so great cricket conditions, some good middle order partnerships had us on track to chasing down their total but unfortunately some late wickets and good bowling at the end left us 16 runs short of the first innings lead Halswell Raiders 190/9dec after 45 overs.
