Basically thrown the game today, some experience for the younger seniors though.

End of over 13 (2 runs) - Gully Boys CC(40-7) RR 3.08

It's going to be a big win today for me as they've thrown the game with a mostly under 20 side. This is a flat pitch too.

That's not going to be good enough

We scored the 53 runs we needed to win in 4.2 overs so that should help NRR. Ten Dam took 4-15, Callaway 3-17, and Issa hit 31 not out from 16 balls.

went with 5 seniors and 6 youth against The Dross and we won easily by 162 runs, my opener getting 96*(62) and medium pacer getting the amazing figures of 4-1-6-6 were particular highlights. A nice boost to the NRR!

Somehow two batsmen were picked to bowl, would have been beaten anyway without this happening.

We could do with a win so that we don't get dragged into a relegation battle.

We lost the toss and were put in to bad. I wanted to bat anyway.

C. McCarthy (rfs) 3-0-20-1, J. Hicks 31 (35b), N. Gera 1 (8b)
End of over 13 (5 runs) - Ruff Royals(56-2) RR 4.31

Unfortunately, we've lost our main run scorer, Mills, early. Hicks has started well but has yet to hit a youth half century.

K. Arubi (rfs) 8-1-60-0, S. Clouston 5 (5b), M. Schmidt 34 (27b)
End of over 40 (10 runs) - Ruff Royals(214-6) RR 5.35

A reasonable total but it's not unassailable. Hicks got the best score with 71 runs.

D. Combs (lf) 4-0-23-0, B. Talbot 19 (38b), H. Hird 6 (6b)
End of over 20 (1 run) - ShrimperZone CC(88-2). 127 runs required from 20 overs. RR 4.40 RRR 6.35

I think we're a couple of wickets short of where we needed to be. I'm not convinced that they'll have too much trouble keeping up with the required run rate.

I was a bit worried when they hit 13 off the first over but Rush came back and ended with figures of 4-32. We're now 8 points ahead of the relegation zone and it's beginning to look like we'll probably end up mid-table.

S. Nathanielsz (rfm) 8-0-28-1, L. Avila 40 (85b), A. Diaz 4 (6b)
End of over 32 (1 run) - Ruff Royals(99-6) RR 3.09

Slow pitch so this is pretty terrible as we probably need at least another 100+ runs. We need a miracle from Avila and the other players to stick with him.

D. McMahon (rfm) 9-0-24-4, P. Callaway 1 (2b), A. Ten Dam 2 (1b)
End of over 37 (3 runs) - Ruff Royals(119-8) RR 3.22

Avila out now, shortly followed by Diaz, and with that any slim hopes we may have had are gone.
