Our ‘A’ XI took full advantage of a rare outing at Marespool this afternoon!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the 2nd XI not playing as they had a bye (11 teams in their division), Kapilan Radhakrishnan led his guys to a comfortable win by 40 runs over Briton Ferry Steel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After winning the toss, MCC rattled up 205-2 in their 40 overs before tea! And the main man here was James Harris with a masterful knock of 125no (16 fours!)! The supporting cast comprised 14-year-old Ed Harris (22, out of 86 for the 1st wicket) and Jaden Patel (38, 3 fours), who added 94 with James for the 2nd wicket.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following tea, BFS were never really in the hunt as Kaps’ bowlers each bowled tightly. The skipper opened the bowling, conceding a mere 5 runs in his spell of 5 overs, whilst partner-in-crime Dave Martin yielded just 15 in his opening burst of 5! The wicket takers were 17-year-old Macsen Denman (2-36), 14-year-olds Dan Board (2-20) & Tom Phillips (1-33) and Jaden (1-37). BFS 165-6 at the close!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Superb stuff, people!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, just as our 1st XI appeared to be making light weather of a post-interval chase “up the road”, Abergavenny stole the show to win by 32 runs!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opting to field first, Aneurin Norman’s team spent a fair bit of time watching home skipper Will Glenn craft a fine knock of 156no off 143 balls! Our hosts were 37-3 at one point, followed by 86-4. However, more than useful useful partnerships of 42, 105 & 28 (undefeated) brought about a decent total of 261-6 on this lovely ground. The Captain (2 wickets), Kaesh Vigneswaran, Max Phillips, Jack Straw & Greg Thomas (1 each) took the wickets that fell, whilst Sean Davies held two catches & took a stumping.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In reply, Aneurin & Luke Smith got the 1st XI off to a flying start, with an opening partnership of 137, before Luke (48 off 54 balls. 6 fours) was dismissed in the 19th over! “Noddy ” carried on his way!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our second fell in the 24th over – 162-2. At 186-2 at the start of the 28th, the expectations were high. THEN, the Captain was dismissed..107 scored from 89 balls faced, with 11 fours & 6 sixes! Just magnificent!<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, Aneurin ended up the losing captain! The rest of the order capitulated, as 186-3 became 229 all out within 12 overs.\u00a0 All over with 9 overs remaining!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next Saturday, our 1st XI play Penarth at Marespool, the 2nd XI make their way to Neath and our ‘A’ XI welcome Drefach to Murton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday, the ‘A’ XI travel to Clydach for their 3rd Round tie in the SWCA Intermediate T20 Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
