After winning the toss and electing to bat, Brent Lawrence and Tim Rand were able to see off the opening bowlers and put on 29 before Angus Bartter picked up the wicket of Lawrence (11).
Haydn Pascoe came to the middle, and he and Rand continued to slowly amass a total with a 29-run partnership before Dean Catanzariti found a way through the defences of Pascoe.
Ben Signor and Rand put their heads down and batted for a large part of the middle session, and while they weren't scoring at a rapid rate, the score continued to tick over.
The pair faced 26 overs and put on 29 runs before Signor (10) was finally dismissed by Todd Argus.
