Two wins, twos lose. Week 12 Round-up

As Meatloaf once proclaimed, two out of three ain’t bad.

Holy Cross were in tune with the hairy rocker as the 1s and 3s secured maximum points whilst the 2s went down but not without a fight.

At Fortress Arbo, the 1s defeated Penicuik by 110 runs. A sterling performance with the bat saw Si’s men amass an unbeatable 232-5 including a fine innings from Zia, with the tourists making 122 at a muggy Arbo.

Meanwhile, at Cavalry Park, the 2s lost out to their Marchmont counterparts. The hosts lost the toss and batted first, reaching 210-9 at tea, with Shifty taking a ‘Michelle’ and Mike Nevin making a trio of catches. Unfortunately the league leaders' total was too rich for the Cross who reached 136 in response.

Whilst at Inverleith Park, the 3s won in emphatic style. Glenrothes 4s, who had done a remarkable job in getting together an XI at all, won the toss and elected to bat. However they may have regretted that decision early in proceedings as they staggered to 27-6 before adding just two more runs to complete their total - Dom taking a second 5-fer in as many weeks. A quick turnaround was in order and it took just 6.5 overs to surpass the Fifers total, allowing the lads to head up to Arbo for nets and cheer on the 1s to victory.

A big thanks to all Crossers who contributed via twitter during the day for the above.
