Stallions were looking to bounce back after losing their past three games and were in danger of dropping out of the top four.

Stallions lost the toss and Wyangle chose to bat first.

He was backed up by Stephen Turk and Isaac Cooper as the Stallions bowled the visitors out for a total of 90 runs.

Stallions went to the crease with plenty of positivity in Trent Charlton and Tony Reece.

The pair looked confident as the runs began to flow before Reece was run out in the 12th over.

With the score at 38 the Stallions could not afford a collapse as Mick Butler joined Charlton at the crease.
