Byo won the toss and decided to bat first.

The innings got off to a flying start with the opening pair of Boardy and Smalls putting on 39 in seven overs before Boardy played on for 12. Wessy then joined Smalls at the wicket and they kept up the pace with a fantastic partnership of 123 from 152 balls before Smalls was bowled for 77 (his highest score for the club so far). With the total on 162-2 in just the 31st over a huge total was on the cards and Wessy and Ian Nairn maintained the run rate with a 50 run partnership for the third wicket before Wessy was dismissed for 77. Byo (1) perished in the search for quick runs before Nairny and Stiff were involved in a blistering 52 run partnership from 25 balls until Nairny was bowled for 58. Stiff (16*) and Witho (1*) added a further five runs to the total to bring the innings to a close on 273-5 after our allotted 45 overs. This was the highest ever total scored at the Bartons, beating the previous best of 264 against St George in 1996.

With our two regular opening bowlers Andy Nairn and Pazza away on holiday it was left to Huddy and Byo to try and stop the Stoke Bishop run chase from getting off to a good start and that is exactly what they did as the run rate never got above three an over. Wickets also fell steadily and the score had reached 77-4 after 22.1 overs before Bishop collapsed dramatically and lost their last six wickets in just 3.4 overs for the addition of only 28 runs. Byo finished with the excellent figures of 5-63, Smalls took 3-15 and there were two excellent run outs by Boardy and Witho. The final total of 105 meant that we had won by 168 runs which was our biggest victory margin in a 1st XI league match, beating the previous best of 158 runs against Horfield in 1995.
