A blend of youth and experience took to the field as Gilgandra won the toss and decided to send Nyngan in to bat.

This decision brought immediate success with Sam Holland ripping through the Nyngan opener with the very first ball of the innings to have Nyngan 1/0 after one delivery.

Brad Freeth was enjoying his first game in the Gilgandra colours and picked up his first wicket to have Nyngan two for 10 after four overs.

Gular duo Brandon Hammond and Mark White, both playing their first game for Gilgandra, took over from where the opening bowlers left off with Hammond in particular bowling a tight line and only conceding 11 runs while taking two wickets in his allotted six overs.

White was bowling with some serious pace and despite conceding a few wides, still managed to finish with 3/31 from his allotted six-over spell.

Chris Allport playing in only his second game for Gilgandra cleaned up the Nyngan tail to finish with 2/10 from four overs.

This was a terrific bowling performance from the youthful Gilgandra pace attack, with Nyngan all out for 102 in the 30th over.

The Gilgandra run chase could not have got off to a worse start with a case of deja vu as Gilgandra opener Ben Jenkins was dismissed first ball of the Gilgandra innings. Dave Johnson joined Jarred Couley and together they took the score to 35 before Couley was dismissed with the change of bowler.

Jasen Carter, another new addition to the Gilgandra side, joined Johnson and this pair took the team through to the luncheon interval with Gilgandra looking solid at 2/53.

The break for lunch did not do the Gilgandra team any favours as a succession of wickets tumbled to see Gil slip to a very vulnerable position of six for 79.

Chris Allport and Andrew Newstead then combined to take the Gilgandra side past the Nyngan total, with Allport unfortunately dismissed on the last ball of the day.
