Another commanding win for the lads over the weekend against Calder Grove Cricket Club to keep our title dreams alive. Now unbeaten in 5, as we end the season strong
The hosts won the toss & elected to field. They were rewarded with some tight early bowling and some assistance from a wicket which looked tricky to bat on early. Opener Glen Bott was patient & added 20 before he was dismissed.
The game looked in the hosts favour at 63/3, before Ash Shaw and Charlie Goose decided enough was enough. 63/3 very quickly became 169/4 as both dismantled the Calder attack with a brutal 106 partnership. Shaw compiled a rapid 84 from 63 balls, featuring 15 boundaries and striking at 133.
Goose continued to motor along with Skipper Scott Tyson, the pair adding another 38 as Charlie brought up his maiden half century for the Eagles. He eventually finished on 52*, with 9 classy boundaries and was ably supported by Tyson on 9*.
The Boro innings eventually finished on 207/4 from our 40 and delivering maximum batting points.
The Eagles wasted no time with the ball in response, as Kris Cooper ripped through the top order with the score 8-5. He finished on 4/19 from is 6 and was unlucky not to find another 5 for. The hosts found some resistance for the 6th wicket with the score 51/6.
Callum Maxwell & Liam Longfield both nipped in with a wicket each, before the skipper Scott Tyson wasted no time in dismantling the lower order as 51/6 soon came 70 all out, as he found figures of 4/9 from his 5.1 overs.
Ash Shaw was deserved man of the match for his 19th half century in Boro colours.

We go again this Saturday against Allerton Bywater, with minimum 3rd place in the bag and a slim chance of the title!
We also are glad to see umpire Richard Podolak is now fighting fit after giving us all a scare mid way through the innings. Speedy recovery mate!
