A. Bell (rws) 4-0-23-4, A. Diaz 14 (7b), P. Callaway 1 (2b)
End of over 20 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(132-8) RR 6.60

Slow pitch so that's an okay score but it's certainly something that they could chase too. Avila was my best bat with 42 from 34 balls.

A. Ten Dam (rfm) 2-0-8-1, I. Rocha 11 (17b), J. Lill 5 (10b)
End of over 7 (2 runs) - Castle Rock CC(33-3). 100 runs required from 13 overs. RR 4.71 RRR 7.69

A decent start from the bowlers but we need to keep the pressure on to get our first win of the season.

[spark]

Sadly, Rocha's 59 runs took the game away from us.

Castle Rock CC won by 5 wickets.

My spinners not taking any wickets on a slow pitch hurt us this time.

I won the toss and decided to bowl first. What that actually means is that I forgot to change my toss decision to bat first.

D. Combs (lf) 6-0-45-0, D. Sheikh 28 (23b), C. wa Njagi 8 (12b)
End of over 32 (8 runs) - Danger Hotspurs(193-3) RR 6.03

We're struggling but I was expecting to struggle.

Will take that score but going to be tough to defend it.

We are not going to chase this successfully.

End of over 25 (9 runs) - Ruff Royals(108-3). 165 runs required from 15 overs. RR 4.32 RRR 11.00

A good partnership by these two. It's just about trying to make it respectable now and so that it doesn't hurt the NRR too much.

Could have been worse and our bowling was not good enough. The main positive is that Mills got his first century and finished on 114 not out from 117 balls.

Looks like the aim for this season is to battle for 3rd place but I'd take not relegating.

Possibly, although that is the toughest start you could have had.

Agreed but we lose three players very soon and we just don't have anyone to replace them at this standard!
