3 wins..

Good Saturday for HX, with a tight win for the 1sts versus high-flying Carlton 2's.

Scorecard here:  http://www.cricketstats.org.uk/esca/2013/1/0701.html

A few batsmen (Owais, cje, Julius and Dougie) played pretty well but no one played the substantial innings we needed...and have lacked most of this season.

200 was under-par with the bat (given a decent pitch and a rapid outfield) but a good steady bowling performance (Julius 10 overs for 26 the pick) kept Carlton behind the rate.

The fortunate dismissal of Shah (horrid full bunger) was vital after Carlton were starting to go well at 68-2. A good fifty by their skipper and some good batting by their youngsters gave them a chance but Si Mc bowled a good spell at the end-taking wickets just as they gained momentum. 

Shannon takes the final wicket

2nds beat Livi 2's by about 100 runs - JB scoring a ton.

@HXCricket 2s win by appx 100 runs. Abdul Ghafoor 4 wickets, @AirFixTheMovie with 2 fine slip catches.

3's had a walkover versus Largo 4's, so the younger element went for a 15 hour festival session...
