FPs kept a lid on things as Methlick struggled for any momentum and took regular wickets to keep the game under control, only Veersema (47) and Jones (27) making contributions of note. there were wickers for Haider (3/14), Javaid (2/23), D’Costa (1/24) and Prash (1/24).
Methlick never had FPs in too much trouble, but a double strike as Nattrass (12) and D’Costa (0) both fell to Fraser gave Methlick brief hope at 44 for 2, but Keith and Haider combined in another large stand this time 95 as FPs strolled to victory.
