Buss stars as firsts back in the hunt

AFTER disappointing back-to-back defeats, an under strength first eleven bounced back in superb fashion making light work of an imposing 245 set by the visitors Hull Zingari on a warm and muggy day down at Southside. Skipper Sam Fuller’s first task of the week was to assemble an eleven capable of competing with their opponents.
