 Seconds and fourths only teams to start due to rain.
Jules Stephenson and Gareth Wright help seconds to strong position
The Weather Bureau website radar went into overdrive on Saturday as showers moved all over Sydney at different times and different strengths to play havoc with the matches in all grades.

Firsts, Thirds and Fifths took the full brunt of the rain that seemed to initially concentrate itself on the northern suburbs and the eventually push itself to the west and south to disrupt both the seconds and fourths at Parramatta.
Second grade started on time and were first interrupted within a half an hour of the start with Parramatta 2 for 27.
The rain then set in until 2.39pm (one minute before tea) when play resumed on a wet outfield but on a good wicket well prepared and well protected from the elements.
The Gordon bowling was very patient with both Jules Stephenson and Gareth Wright eventually bowling 22 and 20 overs respectively to restrict Parramatta to 7 for 141 off 63 overs. Jules finished with 5 for 52 and Gareth 2 for 37, bowling 18 maidens between them including 4 in a row from both bowlers.
 With only 63 overs bowled, the match will continue with an allocation of 120 overs next week.

Fourths
The fourth grade team waited from their scheduled 12.30 start till 3pm to begin their match at Merrylands. Batting first on a wicket that seamed around at times, Anthony Sherman showed his experience to score 73 out of a score of 7 for 155. Las Kanangara also played well to score 35. With 120 overs also next week 4ths will be looking to adding as many runs as possible.
