D. Treanor (rfm) 6-0-38-0, B. Hayne 75 (71b), S. Holland 51 (50b)
End of over 20 (5 runs) - wolfberries(132-0) RR 6.60

Looks a good start but in these conditions I'm not so sure.

C. Rush (lm) 5-0-28-0, T. Garton 17 (17b), G. Mungatana 5 (9b)
End of over 22 (6 runs) - Leyland Lions(125-4) RR 5.68

We did manage to pick up some wickets but that RR is still pretty high.

C. Rush (lm) 8-0-46-0, G. Mungatana 15 (24b), T. Garton 42 (40b)
End of over 28 (9 runs) - Leyland Lions(164-4) RR 5.86

We could do with 6 quick wickets! We can't seem to stop them scoring quickly.

Some great bowling by Chudasama who finished with 7-29 and I'd like to see more of that from him in the rest of his youth career. Sadly, the other bowlers were pretty poor.

T. Vaughn (rm) 8-0-51-0, S. Elwin 6 (7b), D. Boyce 0 (4b)
End of over 40 (5 runs) - Leyland Lions(226-9) RR 5.65

We're going to have to bat really well to successfully chase this total and give ourselves a chance of survival.

J. Murubi (rm) 2-0-6-1, A. Clarke 8 (4b), R. Norris 12 (24b)
End of over 11 (3 runs) - Ruff Royals(48-2). 179 runs required from 29 overs. RR 4.36 RRR 6.17

There's a lot of pressure on these 2 to get most of the runs. The weather says it's sunny but it's looking rather gloomy to me.

Finished up 289 for 3, can't see us defending that.

Leyland Lions won by 1 run.

Green pitch and they had two spinners. One of them got five wickets. My three medium pacers took one wicket between them.

I'm still in with a chance of survival but I've got to rely on Leyland Lions winning again and me beating Relegation reprobates.

Another big game this week. It's a must win really as I can't see us winning the last game against Topmen.

I decided to have a bat.

S. Zuniga (rfm) 5-0-16-1, J. Bass 1 (1b), L. Avila 14 (30b)
End of over 10 (1 run) - Ruff Royals(31-2) RR 3.10

It's not been a great start. The player who scored 140+ not out last week is already back in the pavilion and it already feels like there's not much batting to come.

R. Campbell (rws) 4-0-13-0, J. Bass 12 (27b), L. Avila 42 (70b)
End of over 21 (5 runs) - Ruff Royals(76-2) RR 3.62

A bit of a recovery but we're still going to need at least 100 more runs.

Toss: wolfberries won the toss and elected to bat.

Currently top on the same points as Castle Rock CC, looks like we will both win today. Really all comes down to next week then as we are away to Castle Rock CC, we should have the NRR advantage though.

A. Watermeyer (rfm) 5-0-13-1, E. McGhee 69 (73b), R. Fontaine 0 (0b)
End of over 25 (3 runs) - wolfberries(124-2) RR 4.96

End of over 25 (2 runs) - Ruff Royals(95-3) RR 3.80

Lost a wicket 3 balls before the break which could be crucial. It's looking like we'll need Avila to get his ton.

[spark]

R. Campbell (rws) 9-0-28-1, C. Paton 3 (4b), A. Bowers 8 (12b)
End of over 31 (4 runs) - Ruff Royals(113-4) RR 3.65

Avila out for 60. Paton dropped the next ball. It's looking like we're going to struggle to get to a decent total. We'll need at least one of these 2 batsmen to get a half century and also to get some runs from the lower order.

B. Boota (lws) 10-0-63-0, O. Harford 15 (16b), L. Cody 22 (24b)
End of over 34 (5 runs) - wolfberries(179-4) RR 5.26

Going well at the moment, then again so are my promotion rivals!

Easy win today but our promotion rivals won as well, although we are ahead NRR so a tie will do.
