The lads battled through the day to frustrate Eagles and pick up a draw, although Brendan Taylor 42 and Bothwell Chapungu 49 didn't add that many to their overnight scores, Graeme Cremer 94, took Rhinos through the day along with Solomon Mire 27 and Ed Rainsford 26 while Taurai Muzarabani 51* hit his maiden half century and Brighton Mugochi 33* in an unbroken last wicket stand of 86, possibly a chance that slipped away when Eagles were 105-5 but an excellent start to the Logan series.
The Rampaging Rhinos trampled over the Eagles to gain a 3 run win in the Faithwear fixture, scorecard on the match thread
Brendan Taylor 62 and Friday Kasteni 48 were the main men in a 110 run 4th wicket stand while Graeme Cremer 39, Solomon Mire 37 and Taurai Muzarabani 29, another personal best, took Rhinos through to 252 from 49.2 overs. After a couple of early wickets Eagles began to get control but getting the wicket of Elton Chigumbura when Eagles were 194-5 was the major breakthrough, 2 wickets each from Muzarabani and Mire with Vusi Sibanda, Malcolm Waller, Mike Chinouya and Cremer all picking up 1 each was enough to stop Eagles at 249 with 3 overs to spare
Time for a break now as the other 4 sides play during round 3, the next fixture for Rhinos will be the Logan match against Southern Rocks starting on 14th october.
Big knock from Mutizwa though and a good sign for the National side, although not so good about Price, hopefully only something small. 
(And I must admit, I was not expecting BRMT to be available right from the word go for this season, and that has made a huge difference for the Rhinos)
