ARNOLD’S 6-73 off its 20 overs in the T20 match up with Wedderburn Band never looked like being enough for victory.
And Wedderburn openers Brad Holt and Cameron Steel made sure there were no nervous moments for the home side with a partnership of 63.
Both fell on that score – Steel for 38 off 37 balls with three sixes, and Holt for 25 off 18 with four boundaries – but Wedderburn eased to victory in the 12th over before batting on to 4-91 off 16 overs.
Phil Scholes played a lone hand for Arnold with the bat, making 27 off 32 balls, including two boundaries.
His partnership of 27 with Michael Dale (11 off 22) stabilised the innings after the Redbacks tumbled to 4-37 off 10 overs.
All five Wedderburn bowlers were among the wickets, with Isaac Holt taking 2-17.
When the home team batted, Arnold captain Henry McCullough was his team’s best with the ball, taking 2-14 from his four overs. Wedderburn is at home again this week against Kingower in the battle of the competition’s unbeaten teams, while winless Arnold has the bye.
