Match notes (1) A solid starter After a start with 10 runs in 18 overs in the first game of the season against Antwerp, Mario Draper did better this time, scoring 56 (his maiden fifty for Arcadians) in 35 overs. As Geoff Boycott will tell you: patience is a virtue! (2) Another four-wicket harvest After some very tight bowling in 2006, always just missing out on rich returns, Steve Woodbridge finally made it this time, cleaning up Mechelen's top order a single opening spell of accurate bowling and claiming four well deserved wickets.
