Green Island 286/2dec beat Albion 139 by 147 runsMayank Malhotra and Brad Kneebone should take a holiday more often. The Green Island opening pair marked the return of the Dunedin premier club competition from the Christmas break with a spectacular partnership at Sunnyvale on Saturday. Malhotra made an unbeaten even 100 and Kneebone contributed 118 as Green Island posted 286 for two from 51 overs before declaring the innings closed. Daniel Lawrence had a nice day out for Green Island, claiming five for 33 from 11 overs, while Blair Soper had three for 34. There was an inevitability to the result, however, as O’Connor finished with four for 15 from 14 overs (six maidens) and Aansh Amin contributed three for 16.
