ST Andrew’s can thank middle order batsman, Darryl Fry, for keeping its finals aspirations alive at Clem Young Oval on Saturday, as the home side struggled against Portland Colts in the Hamilton and District Cricket Association A grade match of the round.

The Drews won the toss and quickly announced they would bat first on its home ground with the pitch being very hard and well grassed, but that would be the only success the side would enjoy for the next 29 overs as the Portland Colts bowlers held sway over the batsmen.
