At the other end Nathan Knights was 8 not out, which also included a six. Glashtyns put up fierce resistance by making 103 for 8. Skipper Ryan Windell led the way with 20 while Quayle and Floris Venter took two wickets each. Venter then played an invaluable innings for his team. His 37 not out was the key to their success while Dan Hawke and Nick Hawke each hit 18. Glashtyns had just squeezed home by one wicket in a tight finish against Fenodyrees. Chasing 121 for victory they were happily cruising along at 86 for 0 when Mark Walker struck. He dismissed both Drew Buxton for 34 and Chris Langford for 21. He then took two more wickets and Akkie van den Berg charged in to clean bowl another pair. Glashtyns needed four to win from the final over when disaster struck Fenodyrees. They were hit with six penalty runs for not meeting the required over rate. These runs gave victory to a much relieved Glashtyns team. Fenodyrees suffered another defeat at the hands of Bugganes. The side made 114 for 8 with Van den Berg hitting a solid 30, However Luke Lacey led Bugganes to a seven wicket win in only eleven overs with a dynamic 40 not out. The third round of matches takes place at mid-day next Sunday, followed by the final between the top two sides. This goes ahead at Mullen-e-Cloie at 4pm
