Kuyan Pitt joined Ben at the crease and assisted Ben in adding seven more runs before he misjudged a Cassidy delivery and was bowled with the score on 20.
Bede Leyland made a brief appearance at the wicket before he departed bowled by Tim Middleton, but his impact was to come.
Ben Wilkinson retired on 13 which left Luke Chalker and Ben Watt at the wicket where they combined well as Ben hit two fours before he hit the ball straight back to the Bailey Cain for a regulation caught and bowled and the score was 4-34.
