The under 11s Proserpine Pitbulls had their second away game for the season, this time against the Mackay Magpies White on Saturday.
Captain Matthew tossed the bat which went to Magpies, who had no hesitation to pad up and set the total of 10/86.
With nine players, the Pitbulls would only have 13 balls each to play with. It was just enough, however, and the side finished with a respectable 8/92; their first win in the competition.

With a drying outfield and bowling into a moderate sea breeze, the Pitbulls set about defending their score, and put in the hard yards to bowl out all eight Pioneer Valley batsman for 85 in the 15th over.
