Result: UAE U19 won by 24 runs

Not much in this match, but we again failed to get the win, 3 bats got out in the 30's, if one had went on who knows we may have got over the winning line, however we are now 1 win and 2 losses for the week, i'd be really worried if we were getting hammered, but we've always been in the matches, so hopefully that continues for the rest of the week and we can finish winning the remaining fixtures.

Huge victory for us today boosting our nrr as we go into the final match of the week.
scoring 207 all out put us in a decent position , Irving's 64 no was the highlight of the batting with 3 others scoring in the 30's.
Bowling was superb today, India could only manage 1 player in double figures, and with all the bowlers chipping in they restricted India to a score of only 94.

Been a poor week for the U/19's which has unfortunately seen us relegated to div 2, our limitations in batting were again evident as time and time again we failed to score quick and enough runs to win matches, with a one day tour approaching i fear the same fate may be waiting for us again, but we will try and survive and keep our div 1 status into next season.

Match 1 - Result: Netherlands U19 won by 6 wickets - close match which went to the last ball

Match 2 - Result: Scotland U19 won by 18 runs - Good bowling performance to restrict Australia

Match 3 - Result: Match tied v Zimbabwe - Death Bowling really helped us to an unlikely tie

Match 4 - Result: USA U19 won by 5 wickets - poor all round in this match and we were soundly beaten

Match 5 - Result: India U19 won by 6 wickets - Bitterly disappointing performance in this game, we had wickets in hand but could not score quick enough

We have still qualified for the World Cup, so it's not all doom & gloom
