Played at Victoria Park
Report by Hassan Khan
This fixture was the first ever for an Old Fallopians 2nd VIII, a
sure sign that our club is going from strength to strength, the
first ever time a club has fielded two teams in the VPCCL.
In
true April fashion, the match was preceded by heavy rain and so the
contest was reduced to 14 overs per side.
Sky, one of the
strongest outfits in the VPCCL, won the toss and blasted away from
the beginning. They were, however, checked by some excellent seam
bowling from Phillip. Debutants Faisel and Jack also backed him up
well. In all, six bowlers were used with yours truly picking up 2-19
from 3 overs, thanks to some excellent catching.
The target
of 157 in 14 overs was always academic, but we took on the challenge
comforted by the knowledge that a plucky defeat would send us nearer
to the gentler climate of Division Two, after this and two further
preliminary games.
A total of 76-7 was heavily indebted to opener
(and wicketkeeper) Matt Wake, who carried his bat for a pugnacious
27 not out.
We'll done to all against a tough opposition.
