The team defeated the East Bowral Blues Cricket Club (EBBCC) by seven wickets on October 15 at Welby Oval.
EBBCC was first to bat, but Robertson captain Aaron de Jager said the opposition stated off slowly.
“I think EBBCC started their batting at a slow pace which put them behind the eight ball, they needed another 50 or 60 runs,” he said.
De Jager commended Dale Young on his efforts after he took three wickets for Robertson.
