After the tea break it was the Tigers turn to bat with opening pair Callum and Mark Richards putting on a partnership of 116. But it was the older and wiser of the 2 showing the young fella how to do things with the bat as Mark (Richo) Richards played some glorious shots and no so glorious shots through out his innings. Richo got to put a partnership 116 with Callum and when he lost his wicket Tyler Richards helped the score tick over aswell as being a bystander for a while watching his father play some of his old shots he used when he was younger. Once Tyler lost his wicket Darren Third was in help with the score and help get his run score building aswell as he picked off 7 fours and some quick running between the wickets with Richards but fell short by 2 runs from reaching his 50 but at the hurdle reaching 48 not out after the 35 overs.

Well Done Richo on getting a ton and surprised you still had so much energy at the end.
