City declared at 1/104 in their second dig with opener Byrnes 72 not out.
Port City then went for an outright victory. However, Camden Haven managed to hold off the Port City attack finishing the day on 6/170 (Sam Connelly 2/29 and Josh Kew 2/48). The 2nd Grade Port City side notched up their 3rd successive win defeating the Pirates by 9 runs.
Leagues made 166 with Craig Grant top scoring with 47 supported by Cameron Chick (26) and Greg Hall (21).
Pirates opening batsman Fred Dickson dislocated his knee during the run chase and, with the extended delay due to his treatment by ambulance officers on the pitch, the target was revised to 144 off 32 overs.
Chick then demolished the top order with some clever spin bowling and grabbed 4/30 and along with Darren Hall (2/19) and Dave Stone (2/22) had the Pirates all out for 135.
