The Cougars were able to make a strong start with Jake (36) and Tim Rand putting on 56 for the first wicket. Coro was able to keep pace in the chase with Tim Rand (77*) carrying his bat, and even with starts to Ben Signor (25) and Mathew Axtill (27), it wasn't enough as the Cougars finished on 3/185.
