Fitzworthingham Broncos vs Davistow Darters
@ Simmons Park
MOTM: ZR Ritchie
After requesting that he be demoted to 4, Ritchie made his mark with a fine century reminiscent of ZR Ritchie. His patient 109 formed the backbone of the Davistow innings, and they looked like a chance to defend 256. Unfortunately, Fitzworthingham's team effort got them over the line, as they chased the total down in 47.3 overs.
Garven Island Sharks vs Nixonstown Foxes
@ Clowich Stadium
MOTM: Manan Shah
Jamee Gray was instrumental in the run chase, with a cool, calm, collected 70* off just 82 balls, getting the Foxes past the tough total 143. Although at 4/56 the Foxes may have looked in some trouble. Regardless, a brilliant bowling display by Manan Shah was the catalyst in Garven Island's innings, getting 4/10 off 8 overs.
Gofftown Tigers vs Pickford Panthers
@ Gofftown Oval
MOTM: Kexing Su
Cries of "noob" were heard often during Kexing Su's match winnings bowling performance. After setting a paltry total of 192 the Panthers looked down and out, however they managed to contain the Tigers to 187, Su's 3/35 off 10 being in stark contrast to team-mate Gough's 2/62. Of course, Courtis, the top scorer of the game, didn't help matters by playing like a noob, 76 off 151 balls letting his team down as they ultimately fell 5 runs short. Nash unlucky to have his 4/37 unrecognised, but he should've been a dev league player.
Maddington Frenzy vs Stedingham Jets
@ Bacchanalia Fields
MOTM: JE Stedman
The Jets continued on their run on form with a solid victory over the powerful Maddington side, Stedman's 116 providing the heart of the chase for the Jets, after the Frenzy posted a competitive 239. Stedman also impressed with the ball, 2/29 helping to keep the Frenzy in check with the scalps of both openers. Gaukroger provided able support to Stedman with a fine 49.
Greater Robbham de Grooters vs Edfield Seahawks
@ CW Bar Ground
MOTM: A Herbert
Despite the stupidity of the sim, Edfield still won. Matt Smith, despite being a superior bowler, was not bowled. So, that's just stupid. Still, Edfield bowled well and flattened a laclustre Robbham bowling attack to win by 9 wickets. Stupid sim.
Twybridge Titans vs Campsfield Braves
@ Riverside
MOTM: AS Das
Blackman scored another ton
Bowling to him is no fun
You'll have to pray the sky gets wetter
Or that you can bat much better
Else Campsfield win another one
Twybridge took the latter, or, to be more precise, Das and Donald did. 2 centuries are greater than 1, even if it is a Blackman special.
not that i got many overs mind you
