THREE Pauls and a Jamie - it sounds like the start of a joke.
Paul Jones, Paul Turner, Paul Stares and Jamie Stokes guided Mittagong thirds to a comprehensive win over Bundanoon on Saturday.
Bundanoon captain Andrew Hore won the toss and elected to bat first.
Despite the best efforts of Hore and Neil Xavier (20 each), Bundanoon was eventually bundled out for 68 in the 16th over.
Stares led the Mittagong attack with 4/18 off six overs, while Jones took 4/14 from 3.3 overs.
The visitors had little trouble in reply, passing the total in 15.4 overs for the loss of just two wickets.
Turner top scored with 25no and received great support from Stokes (20no).
Mittagong captain Phil Aitkon praised his team for a great performance with the ball.
"We held our catches and then chased down the runs pretty easily.
"I'm a happy captain."
Conversely, Hore said it was "one of those games you want to forget".
"We were terrible with the bat."
