Kingswood got off to a great start on what is always a batting paradise at Graeme. Both openers were out reasonably early, but a good platform had been set.
That brought Jason Davidson and Neil Hornbuckle to the crease, who together put on a 175 run partnership. Hornbuckle, the captain of the side, was dismissed for 105, while Jason Davidson went on to score his
maiden century for the first team, making 102.
Kingswood then lost five more wickets in the pursuit of quick runs before the imminent declaration, made before lunch on 282 for 9 after 48.3 overs.
For Graeme, Thandi Nqowana (4 for 76) and Abner Accom (3 for 47), were the pick of the bowlers.
The Kingswood bowlers picked up where the batters left off, as Scot van Breda (3 for 25) made vital early inroads with the new ball.
A solid middle order partnership between Accom (53) and Tyrone Rankin (20) steadied the ship for Graeme, and almost took them to safety.
However, Greg Evans picked up three wickets, which brought Kingswood nearer to victory. Kingswood had to struggle for wickets, but eventually bowled Graeme out for 134, with a winning margin of 148 runs.
It was again Accom who stood out for Graeme with a resolute innings, which had halted Kingswood’s surge to victory.
