The Bulls’ division two team had the bye over the two weeks of the split round, with its two division three teams playing the week before.

Pomborneit’s under 16 boys were the club’s only team that managed to take to the field this week.
Batting first against Heytesbury-Princetown at Pomborneit, the Bulls posted 9/163 led by 51 retired from 58 balls to Max Rees.
In his second half century of the season, Rees hit six boundaries.
Other contributions came from Nate Castle with 30 from 30 balls, Sam Tolland with 27 from 44 balls and opener Josh Reynolds with 24 from 25 balls, including an all run five.
Rees’ day out continued with the ball, crashing a ball into the off stump on the first ball of the Storm’s innings.
Rees ended up taking 4/5 from five overs in an impressive spell.
His new ball partner Jonty Raven took 2/7 from four overs, with George Sadler taking the last two wickets with the only four balls he bowled as the Storm were bowled out in the 21st over for 63 to give the Bulls a 100 run win.
