Ford on fire for Williams

Electing to bat first the Williams top order hammered Cuballing’s bowling attack, reaching 3-207.

Jesse Charles (50) was Cuballing’s highest scorer as they were bowled out for 167 in the 41st over.

Clinical Harrismith have all the answers against Wandering

Harrismith proved far too strong for Wandering in only their second win for the season at home on Saturday.

Harrismith lost the wicket of opener Scott Bayley (4) early to Ben Sherry in what was otherwise a convincing top-order display.

Fellow opener Jamie Miller and first-drop Arron Quartermaine spent 27 overs at the crease together for 118 runs before Miller was dismissed by Jacob Schorer on 74.
