The good news is that each of our three Senior League games at least started yesterday (11th). Only one finished, however, and that was a shame in the event!<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Murton, the ‘A’ XI game v Drefach was reduced from 40 to 29 overs per side, owing to the latest rain – MCC batted first.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And during our 29 overs, Captain Morgan’s Men notched up 158-7. Of that, opener Alan Harris carried out a bombing raid whilst helping himself to 117 runs, with 8 fours & 6 sixes!! During his time at the crease, he took part in stands of 76 with Vinnie Sabharwal (22) and 56 with Stuart Seaton (7)! Neat, Al!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Richie Rain returned so there was no more play to be had after that!<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Marespool, Dafen 2nd XI gathered 131-2 from 24 overs before the rains brought about an early tea and no further action outside. Early doors, our visitors had been reduced to a score of 12-2..and were recovering nicely too!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, our 1st XI were soundly beaten at Usk.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking first strike, the home side raced to 95 before the 1st wicket fell, and continued their pace of scoring with an exciting middle-order partnership of 104 from 12 overs..261-8 at the break. Sam Harris (3-41 from his 10 overs) was the pick of the visiting bowlers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In reply, opener Elliott Oates (a circumspect 47, 4 fours) was comfortably the top scorer during MCC’s reply of 124 all out in the 37th over. Defeat by 137 runs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next week, the 1st XI go to Penarth, the 2nd XI welcome Ynystawe to Marespool and our ‘A’ XI journey to Morriston.<\/strong><\/p>\n
