The weather was good, and the pitch was running fast. A match that seemed to show that the Wardens are in sync with the residents.  After 6 games the match was tied 30-30. Whitgift Care Wardens a team that lived on luck, some very powerful hitting from Steve nice style, good coaching from Ian (Volunteer stand in), Mercy played on luck and got Hoop 3 in 1 and Liuba was consistent.
