On a roasting afternoon at The Bottoms Porthleven kept their hopes of silverware alive with some impressive performances, especially by the bowlers. Cif 'Emily' Carvelly was first into his stride, too much pace for Brewer who chipped a simple chance to Parish with just 2 on the board.

Hooley rode his luck for a while but then it was the turn of Aussie Adam Young, forcing him to play on for 22. Carvelly was showing great pace, making it hard for 'keeper Bray, at one point banging his balls into the Italians chin. Not a pretty sight! Nigel 'Henman' Dunstan couldn't wait to make his Roasters debut, flying out of the closet, bowling Whitaker with just the second ball of his Roasters career. The next over his length was too much for Tregear, bowling him for 8 as he continued to probe the batsmen throughout his spell. Breeze was next to fall, struggling time and time again with JJ's balls before finally driving straight to Cif at mid on for just 2. Twiggy Thomas was next in the action, catching Try off Walker for 3 with the score 58-6. Runs were hard to come by, 4 successive maidens from military hero Dunstan, a man not usually known for bowling maidens over! Gaelic Maestro JJ then produced the ball of the day, a slower ball out the back of his hand fooled May into driving straight to Henman at mid on and the score 80-6. Walkers last over went for 10, partly spoiling miserly figures, so a change of pace was tried, Kebab Richards twirling his fingers, but it was the re-introduction of Carvelly that did the trick. Stanleick came in swinging, beating Carvelly's length at will for a time, but he didn't see the South African coming, beating him for pace as JJ pouched the catch. Penrose was next to fall, Henman taking the

chance, plucked from the skies before the catch of the day was taken by Jamie 'Squirrel' Slater in the gully to end the innings for 133. 

In reply Port lost their first wicket on 34, Bray caught for 17. Twiggy Joined Boo and penetrated the Botallack ring 3 times before he was bowled for 14. JJ was next in, the swashbuckling potato muncher hitting a 6 and four 4's in his 14 ball stay before being well caught for 25, his innings coming prematurely to end when it looked like he was set for another big score. Boo Boo Bonnett was next to go after, for him, a rapid 58 ball 38, taken from behind as Penrose teased his bails off. Carvelly was not to be defeated, completing a fine day as he clubbed an undefeated 29 from just 21 balls to see his side home after Adam Young, in the side due to a self inflicted wrist injury to Paul Francis, was bowled for just 5. 20 points were secured and pressure maintained on the other Division 3 leaders.
