End of over 20 (9 runs) - Ruff Royals(191-4) RR 9.55

A decent score but on a hard pitch, and with my bowlers, it wouldn't be a surprised if they successfully chased this.

End of over 10 (7 runs) - Castle Rock CC(92-2). 100 runs required from 10 overs. RR 9.20 RRR 10.00

Castle Rock more or less on target to win the game. We need some wickets and some economical bowling.

77 for Mills and 80 for Hicks got us to a good total. Rush was the key bowler with 3-23. This pushes us further towards safetly and means I'm free to pick my best youngsters in the MKMC if that's the way I decide to go.

We won the toss and decided to bowl first in what should be a tough game.

A. Ten Dam (rfm) 1-0-10-0, M. McCann 0 (3b), B. Healy 28 (21b)
End of over 5 (10 runs) - Inchigeela Angels(33-3) RR 6.60

Three early wickets for Diaz but I'd like the run rate to go down a bit as the batsmen have had a couple of decent overs.

Away in Cloudy/Dry lost the toss and having a bowl, though I would have bowled anyway. Got something of a mixed team out, the batting especially is kinda weak today. Opps struggling a little at the moment, 57/4 from 12. I think anything above 130 they're probably favourites, but hopefully we can continue this decent start.

[eagles123]

opps 96/8 from their 20. would usually be pretty confident with that score, but given our 6 is a youth player, and 7 is capable batting summary ... it's fair to say there's not a huge amount of batting depth today

Not sure this will be enough.

End of over 20 (5 runs) - Inchigeela Angels(124-9) RR 6.20

An ok bowling performance with Diaz taking 4 wickets. Could be tricky to chase on a slow but is certainly possible to do.

End of over 3 (1 run) - Ruff Royals(10-1). 115 runs required from 17 overs. RR 3.33 RRR 6.76

We lost some wickets at the end which felt unnecessary. Avila with 42 and Issa with 31 were the key batsmen in the chase.
