Two Randy Petes faced off in the match with Adam Semple representing NSW and Burt Cockley WA and Randy Petes Legend Bobby Barter as Room Attendant extraordinaire.
For Sempie the 2012-13 season was marked by his appointment as First Grade skipper and in his first match at the helm had a convincing win in the State Challenge Shield, with an inexperienced side after losing four first-class players from the previous season, over the country champions Illawarra at Kensington Oval. Adam went on to lead his young charges to wins in the first three matches bolstered by his own selection in the NSW Second XI team where he hit scores of 103* (on debut v WA), 73* and 56*. Burt had just made the shift to WA to continue his First Class career with the Warriors.
