Chasing 196 for victory, Crib Point was in a bit of strife at 4-63 when Mereszko came to the crease.

Henry Dolphin and Luke Herrington, Matt Blake and Ricky Thompson were back in the sheds and it seemed the target was way out of reach.

However, Mereszko (44) and Ben Watson (34) stuck around long enough to get the wheels back on track.

Disaster struck again though, the Magpies losing 3-0 with Rob Wilson claiming two wickets and Michael Heib picking up the other. At 7-128, the Pies again looked gone. However, Brad Davison provided terrific support and along with Brad Watson with 27, was able to steer his side home with a well-earned 29 not out.

Heib finished with four wickets for the Ducs, Wilson claimed two and Neil Barfuss one.
