🗓️ Tuesday 7 July
Eagles 🦅 Vs Bowden Vale C.C.
📰🏏 MATCH REPORT🏏📰
The Eagles made it two wins in two days as the team bagged another strong victory tonight - in a very good natured game with Bowden C.C.
Some solid straight batting from Leo along with two maximums and four boundaries from Khalil set the team off to a dominant start.
Alfie scored more than a run a ball - in a tidy debut innings - and batted well with partner Nayan who smashed a big six.
There was no let up for Bowden as Harvey and Daniel swung arms. Runs on both sides of the wicket for Harvey and more than two a ball from Daniel, who clobbered five fours.
James and our captain Adam had the challenge of facing the strongest two bowlers of the opposition - Patrick and Fin who both bowled excellently while on loan for the day! It played out as an even contest. Runs scored with good technique, and a wicket for Patrick.
Whalley Range ended on 303.
Two wickets in the first over from Nayan immediately had Bowden Vale on the back foot.
Khalil also bagged two wickets while Daniel and James took one apiece. Meanwhile, a wicket from Alfie capped a great first time performance from him.
All our bowlers were superb in containing the spirited Bowden batters. And were ably supported in the field with some quality ground fielding.
That said, there was a rare fielding blip which involved Patrick and Fin scoring seven off one ball for Bowden! For the statisticians: there was a wide, they ran two and then got four overthrows.
Despite this, the win was never in doubt. Bowden finished on 231.
Good cricket was played in excellent spirit tonight by both teams - a fantastic evening all round. Well done to all!
