Darvell continued with Mick Dennis and the duo took the score to 108 before Darvell was out for 39 off 176 balls.
Dennis and last game’s centurion John Simpson took the score to 131 before Simpson was out for 5.
Shane Simpson then headed to the crease, finishing not out on 8 with Dennis not out on a well compiled 32 including one towering six into the pavilion.
