Weekend Round-Up 🏏
An Alex Farr masterclass set up a massive victory for the 1s on Saturday against Purley-on-Thames! Farry hit 133 off 111 balls, including 21 fours and 2 sixes. 50s from Corne Botes and Rob Hislop lifted the 1s up to 332/6, before the bowling unit saw off the opposition for 169 💪
No such luck for our Women's side on Sunday, who were beaten at home by Hursley Park 😢
Superb knocks from Ben Bromley and Jake Baldwin couldn't rescue the 2s from being under par against Shinfield. The visitors chased the total with plenty of overs to spare 😭
3 wickets and 30 runs for Arul Pougajendy in the 3s defeat away at Emmbrook & Bearwood. Batting first, we stuttered up to 167/9, which wasn't enough on the day, giving the hosts the win 🤝
A run-fest in the park as our 4s faced Bracknell! More runs for the brilliant Sathes, and 58 from Jarvey Lowman helped the 4s up to 266/6. We started well in reply, reducing Bracknell to 97-5, but a simply sensational 6th wicket partnership lifted them up towards 220, before their number 7 carried on the work and saw Bracknell home 🔥
Another cracking game, this time our 5th XI away at Eversley. Bowling first, wickets were shared around between Andrew Shurlock (2-41), Eugene (2-22), Ethan (2-12), Harry (2-19) and 1 each for Tristan and Abik. Chasing 191 to win, Ross Aver hit a run-a-ball 52, Stanley hit a solid 24, and Andrew Shurlock chipped in with 22. The game was even and coming down to the last over, and then to the final ball. 4 needed to win, Ethan Swinden on strike, and bang! Crunched the last ball of the game away to the boundary to secure the win! 🎉
