Taking on Bookaar at the Camperdown College oval last Saturday, Storm won the toss and elected to bat.

In reply Bookaar were 8/240, with Jake Robbins effective at the crease taking 2/36 from 10.
Other wickets fell for both Chris and Paul Vogels, Mottram and Sam Lenehan.
Taking on Camperdown on their home ground, the Cobden Knights also had a successful day out, posting 4/245 from 50 overs.
The Knights were able to successfully defend their total, restricting the Lakers to 9/210.
Best of the batters for the Knights were opener Jonty Robertson who smashed his way to 73 (which included five boundaries), Campbell Walsh who finished the day unbeaten on 57 and Matthew Kemp who contributed 54.
