Senior Cricket
The Premier Men managed to clean up East Shirley last week with a great spell of bowling from Matt Farrant who got 6/50. Both Matt and Scott Inglis picked up 8 wickets for the match – This week we welcome grade leaders Sydenham to Burnside Park for the first day of the last 2 day match of the season. It will be a must win for BWCUCC – you can read this article to explain the position of the grade last round – The Press
Matt Farrant, 6/50, leader of the club’s Al Brown MVP points award
The 2a’s are leading the competition 111.49 to Saint Alban’s 111.22, going into the last round the draw has BWCUCC vs Sydenham at Sydenham Park #1 and St. Alban’s playing Riccarton at Bradford Park. BWCUCC has not won the second grade competition since 2009/2010 season when they were lead by Ashley Taggart. Let’s hope that a match off has left the lads rested.
Not a great day at the office for either team in the 3a Grade, not even a 5 wicket hall from Umesh in the Brawlers could help them win against Marist-Harewood and the Mariners had tough day at the office as well.
The President’s Foxes had a good win against East Shirley as Marty Conway scored 53, putting them in semi-final this weekend in the top four play off. The Dubai Diamond Traders, Ghetto Hustlers and Rolling Stones all had T20 wins – and the Strikers falling short with not enough runs or players this week.
