After starting the season in the Kingsgrove Sports T20 with a first round win against the defending T20 champions, Randwick Petersham, St George quickly came back to earth in Saturday’s morning fixture. After being sent in by Northern District the Saints lost two early wickets before Kurtis Patterson and Matt Rodgers steadied the innings with a 128 run partnership off 74 deliveries. When Rodgers was dismissed for 54, Patterson, who finished with a majestic 95no was joined by Luke Bartier whose quickfire 27no helped Patterson take the score to 194 at the end of 20 overs.The boys from the north quickly set about their task with some big hitting putting pressure on the Saints bowling.
