On a slow and slightly awkward surface, HX did well to make 136 with KF scoring a brisk 21 and 20: 20 specialist (...) Ellis carrying his bat. Some good late tonking from captain Smith (with the 4th different bat in 4 innings...) took us well above a par score.
Some good tight spells from Bonfield, Bainbridge, Ellis, Russell and McGill (whose wicket was via a fine boundary catch from EC) squeezed the life out of the Livi reply and we could afford to experiment in the final overs - though the Livi batsmen were disappointed that EC didn't have an over or two. The win secures a Quarter Final tie (at home) to Fauldhouse.
Thanks to Scott Russell and Nipun for agreeing to play at the last moment.

20/20 Specialist indeed! You did shine with bat and ball I suppose!
