Runs & Roses

7th October 2018

The 4th Season of Runs & Roses has begun!

In a game against one of our favourite opponents, Aspen, our first game of the 2018 Heatherbank Corporate Cricket Summer League was a great advert the game.

We put 123 on the board, with Matt and Poovi putting on an unbeaten 59 runs together and the lower order taking us a very defendable total.
In a chase that had both teams ahead 2 or 3 times, it came down to Aspen needing 5 in the last over. Danie got 2 wickets in 3 balls to swing it back our way, but Aspen were up to the task got the total with 2 balls to spare

A loss for the Roses, but a great day of cricket had.

Til next time.

The 4th quarter-final of the 5th Division Winter League 2018 was a cracker.

Aspen went in to bat, after a good start, there was an LBW appeal (Bennie said Not Out),but we managed to slow their rate down a bit, there was an LBW appeal (Bennie said Not Out)
Matt, who arrived late, made the double break through in his first over to turn the tide of the game (Neither being LBW) . However, just when we were looking to keep Aspen too a low total, they tore into our bowlers in the final overs, posting 122/8. There was an LBW appeal (Bennie said Not Out).

We started with a steady partnership up front, there was an LBW appeal (Bennie said Not Out). Aspen then started restricting the boundaries, there was an LBW appeal (Bennie said Not Out). After a quick couple of wickets (Neither being LBW), the boys picked up the pace and we ended up with our highest ever successful run chase, ending on 125/3.
