Toss: Snakey's Kent Stars won the toss and elected to bat.

Can't see us winning today, picked plenty of the young fellas.

5 x 16 and 2 x 17 year olds.

T. Benneworth (lws) 5-1-23-2, G. Mullett 52 (68b), B. Goodman 1 (2b)
End of over 25 (4 runs) - Snakey's Kent Stars(105-2) RR 4.20

Happy enough currently, especially with Monday's youth pull Benneworth's figures so far.

End of over 31 (5 runs) - Snakey's Kent Stars(128-3) RR 4.13
30.6.Benneworth to Townley : [dropped] Is that a dropped catch? Townley flashes hard outside the off stump, and the ball pops in and out of Clingeleffer's gloves. Replays suggest that there may have been the faintest of edges on that, so that goes down as a missed opportunity for Clingeleffer.

Could have been four on his debut.

We aren't chasing that

End of over 40 (8 runs) - Ruff Royals(281-3) RR 7.03

I feel like this might be enough on a slow pitch. 114 for Dotson, 57 for Hicks, and 75 not out for Schmidt.

B. Gardiner (rws) 2-0-15-1, T. Abdulah 14 (10b), K. Tuitavake 0 (0b)
End of over 16 (6 runs) - bigsexybarry(75-2). 207 runs required from 24 overs. RR 4.69 RRR 8.62

Ruff Royals won by 96 runs

A big win not that it makes much difference to me.

It did for me though, bigsexybarry are our only relegation rivals now, they are 12 points behind with three games to go so your win certainly helped us

Not the best batting display from us but a great bowling performance. We bowled them out for 110 on a dry pitch and then stumbled to a 5 wicket win although we had a lot of overs left in the game. Moses was the best with 3-17.

we seem to have been either brilliant or terrible this season, fortunately today's game was in the first category. Won the toss and had a bat on overcast/sticky, and things were looking pretty shaky at 74/5. For a rare change my middle order really stepped up, all of them contributing with useful knocks, especially Riedewald with an important 42 not out to propel us to 199/8. And our bowlers were excellent, skittling the opponents for a meagre 86 in 30.2 overs, standout performer being fast bowler Zubic with 5-1-14-4, picking up the wickets of three of the top four.

With 6th and 7th still to play each other, this guarantees our survival which is all I wanted from this season. Hopefully we can have a decent end to the season and try and get as much prize money as possible!
