End of over 20 (16 runs) - wolfberries(137-4) RR 6.85

Brilliant innings by Reeler to get us to this total, whether we can defend it is another thing...

R. Salvana (rfm) 1-0-13-1, J. O'Halloran 0 (0b), S. Sandoval 8 (4b)
End of over 1 (13 runs) - The Middle Stump Lubricators(13-1). 125 runs required from 19 overs. RR 13.00 RRR 6.58

Interesting first over in our opponents reply.

End of over 4 (9 runs) - The Middle Stump Lubricators(41-1). 97 runs required from 16 overs. RR 10.25 RRR 6.06

OK Not going how I had hoped

Well that was a hammering today.

We were similarly hammered but probably worse.

Perhaps strangely my batter who bowled didn't end up with the worst bowling figures and even managed to pick up a wicket.

Slow pitch against Ffoh.

End of over 20 (10 runs) - Ffoh(141-3) RR 7.05

Okay, I guess but it's going to be a tough chase.

S. Nathanielsz (rfm) 1-0-10-0, B. Kirk 4 (3b), L. Avila 6 (3b)
End of over 1 (10 runs) - Ruff Royals(10-0). 132 runs required from 19 overs. RR 10.00 RRR 6.95

[wolfberries]

Home in Windy and Green conditions, playing top so threw the first team at them. Batted first after winning he toss and finished up 167 for 6.

Opponents currently 35 for 3 from 4.4 overs.

B. Sthalekar (rm) 1-0-8-1, A. Bowers 0 (0b), T. Brown 8 (5b)
End of over 10 (8 runs) - Ruff Royals(82-4). 60 runs required from 10 overs. RR 8.20 RRR 6.00

The RRR isn't too bad but we've lost too many wickets and these 2 will need to get us most of the way to the total.

[spark]

K. Keogh (rws) 4-0-21-2, A. Diaz 3 (3b), S. Hodges 4 (3b)
End of over 15 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(105-7). 37 runs required from 5 overs. RR 7.00 RRR 7.40

Disappointing to go collapse so much when we had the RRR pretty much under control. The run rate required is just about doable but not with the players we've got left to bat.

Ffoh won by 19 runs

I'm not sure what to think of this performance. We were going ok with the bat for a while but the middle order batsmen couldn't stay in for long enough to give us a chance.

C. Rush (lm) 4-1-15-1, K. Mate 1 (1b), L. Lane 14 (25b)
End of over 20 (5 runs) - The Chumps CC(85-3) RR 4.25

Didn't take any wickets until the 8th over and then managed to get some more control of the run rate. It's going to be a difficult match and I think we'll need to pick up a couple of wickets in the 5 overs after the drinks break.

[spark]

R. Schneider (rm) 7-1-30-0, A. Blades 17 (32b), L. Lane 31 (46b)
End of over 29 (4 runs) - The Chumps CC(120-4) RR 4.14

Only got the 1 wicket after the drinks break. We really need to break this partnership and make some further inroads into their batting line-up.

[spark]

T. Vaughn (rm) 8-2-33-1, L. Lane 70 (73b), Z. Corrie 0 (0b)
End of over 40 (6 runs) - The Chumps CC(198-5) RR 4.95

I think we're going to struggle but you never know.

D. de Haan (rm) 4-1-21-2, W. Mills 24 (48b), S. Whitehead 0 (2b)
End of over 16 (maiden) - Ruff Royals(70-2). 129 runs required from 24 overs. RR 4.38 RRR 5.38

Lost our first wicket and then quickly lost the second wicket. I need these two to stay together for a considerable time and keep in touch with that RRR.

Another excellent innings by Reeler got us to a decent total in the conditions.
