Activcity ESCA Indoor 6's

We won both of our games on Friday night and accumulated just enough bonus points to edge out Edinburgh South meaning we have qualified for the semi final on Friday 29th March (Easter Friday). Some more details can be found on the ESCA website.

Our team was

J McOscar
K Fraser
S McOscar (c)
S Bonfield
R Bainbridge
R Worsnop

Winning the toss in the first game and asking Edinburgh South to bat allowed us to set the tone for the evening by keeping it tight and picking up wickets with regularity. With a low target, we were able to pass their total without any scoreboard pressure for the loss of one wicket.

In the second game we bowled first, again our bowlers produced some gems keeping the pressure on Tranent and keeping their total down. Once more we were able to bat within ourselves. One short of their total Jimmy reached 25 and retired and we went past their score without losing any wickets.

Qualification would be calculated taking run rate into account. However in both games the skipper decided to ensure the win first and foremost and let the rest take care of itself. And maybe a little bit because none of us really knew the rules. As it turned out, this worked perfectly.

C'mon the Cross!!!

Cross knock out Widows with Semi win

Cross were cooking by Gaz to hold on for a Parks Trophy Final showdown with MDafs next Wednesday at Edinburgh Academy's New Field.

1st XI debutant Gary Trewartha took 5 for 6 off 3.5 overs as Cross tried their best to throw away the game after a strong bowling performance!

However, with the beautiful evening drawing to a close over Fortess Arbo, Charlie & Vikram held their nerve to see Cross through for the chance of some silverware this summer.
