Arriving at Drummoyne Oval on a humid, overcast morning with rain hanging in the air, there were some (the writer included) who were unsure that any cricket would be played at all – but in the end it was a humdinger that finished with the First Grade Bears singing the song for the first time since Round 3.

The umpires ambitiously targeted an on-time start (much to my surprise – the scorebook and team list were still in the car at 9.27 when I was told we were tossing at 9.30), which was kiboshed by rain at 9.29. When the coin eventually came down an hour later, Sydney won it and made the fastest call of “we’ll bowl” ever recorded. We got underway at 10.45, losing just a single over per side.
