Roly's Super Sixes complete Crosstastic Saturday

Three wins out of three.

Details to follow...

1sts:
(match reduced to 45 overs per side after wet patches on the square
delayed the start by 45 mins)
Heriots 2nds 183-3
S. Knox 61, S. Litster 51, T. Weereratna 31*

Holy Cross 184-7
C. Ellis 48, R. Bainbridge 31, R. Dannreuther 33, S. Bonfield 22.
(Dougie also made 13* before hurting his hip badly whilst diving for
his ground and retiring hurt).

Roland's two superb sixes (with at least 8 men back) turned the game after we'd fallen behind the run rate. Nawaz then played an excellent little innings to get us over the winning line. We needed 1 to win of the last ball and a nice clip over midwicket got us home.

Earlier an excellent effort with the ball and in the field (with Andy G and Nawaz the standouts) kept a strong Heriots batting line-up (including someone who's made 539 runs in the SNCL Premier League this season) to a chaseable score.

2nds:
Holy Cross 2nd XI 140 - Mark Robertson 31, G Lohan (No 11) 22*.
Heriots 3rd XI 107 Ogilvie 47, Lohan and Bates 4 wkts each.

A less than sober 2nd team skipper has just (after chasing up his new Facebook friend..) 'reported'/ Tweeted the following:
