It was our 5th XI that claimed the 2nd win of the day as they faced off against Old Elizabethans 4th XI in a friendly. We batted first and compiled an impressive total of 217 from our 40 overs… and it was two names that are becoming regular features of the podcast that starred. Andy Tongue, in the wickets recently, took his opportunity with the bat scoring 70 runs and then Nishan Senarathne made it back to back 50s as he finished 70 not out.
In reply Old Elizebethans never really threatened to reach the target and a good all round bowling performance ensured that they were dismissed for 130 in 37.3 overs. Ashley Chandler led the way with 3 for 19, Joseph T, Matt Lewis and Nishan picked up 2 wickets apiece and Fletcher D also added 1 to his growing tally of senior wickets. A pleasing victory – 87 runs the margin in the end.
