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!!!

Parks Progress
Parks Trophy 2nd Round (at Arboretum)
Holy Cross 179-3
C. Ellis 58* (25balls), C. A. Smith 42 (32), S. Bonfield 41* (24), E. C. Smith 22 (25)
Casuals 113/9
Logan 29, Crow 18
Worsnop 3 overs/2-4
Bainbridge 3 overs/ 0-11
Millington 3 overs/ 1-21
Russell 3 overs/ 3-17
U. Shazad 4 overs/ 2-33
Webb 2 overs/ 0-17
Bonfield 2 overs/ 1-7
The efforts made in getting out a strong side were rewarded with a good solid win in a highly enjoyable game versus a spirited Casuals side. Efficient dispatching of the bad/ hittable deliveries took us to a good 179-3 on a decent but slightly 'dead' track. Though we shared the bowling around, the very tight opening spells by the two Rob's (14 off the first 6 overs) meant that the HX total was never under threat. Cheers to Casuals for playing the game in a great spirit (even when the ball was disappearing to the boundary fairly regularly)-and also well done for batting so well in the final overs when the light was pretty terrible.
breaking news.... PVB informs me that.....we will play Edinburgh South (at Arbo) in the next round.
