Big win but big ratings so we probably should have won.

Moses took 3-13 and Massey 3-12. We're now 2 points ahead of 2nd place.

[eagles123]

the seniors are having a season to forget to say the least, but the youth are doing well, especially considering we only have 3 players older than 18.10.

End of over 16 (5 runs) - South London's Number One CC(58-0). 95 runs required from 24 overs. RR 3.62 RRR 3.96

need to make sure the run rate doesn't get too far ahead, but looking solid so far.

That could be a hugely important win.

99 not out for Issa set us up for the win. We had to bowl well too. Perry was key taking 5-41 and it was a nice economical performance from Rush (2-14) in his 7.2 overs.

great win, you've gotta be title favourites now!

Uneven and sunny conditions and couldn't defend 231. Our weak seam attack mainly being to blame, but they are quite young so I just need to be patient.

Ruff Royals won by 1 run

It was very close but I'll take it. A flurry of wickets towards the end helped us get the win. Bullock continues a fine season with a 100 not out to add to some high scores this season. If my calculations are right then Bullock is averaging over 100 in this league despite not yet reaching the age of 19.

I make Sledgingshire favourite on the basis that I'm bound to mess it up at some point. This week could be crucial as I need Inchigeela to do me a favour.

End of over 13 (14 runs) - Topmen(56-1) RR 4.31

Dry pitch and it's not going too well at the moment. Topmen always seem to do well against me so it's going to be tough.

We were doing alright but we're struggling to get the last 3 wickets. They were 111-7.

[spark]

Very disappointing to have them at 111-7 and then not be able to bowl them out. They end up with 190 which is going to be a tough chase.

The chase didn't start off that well with wickets falling but we did score quickly from the beginning. 72 from 59 balls by McCall was great and Issa hung around to score 62.

Sledgingshire lost to Inchigeela Angels which means we should be 6 points clear. There are still some tough games to come plus an international week so there's still little room for complacency.

We lost 2 players to the senior team so are ratings are down. Also I'm thinking of selling my oldest youth batter so didn't play him today. We might have a tough time next season considering the ratings or we might just about develop enough to get away with it. It was a good result today but I can't expect them to get away with a ratings deficit like that for a lot of next season.

Patterson got 2-19 and there were a lot of good contributions with the bat. Dickerson was the best of the lot with 43 not out.
