We were comfortably second best in the school game, as the school racked up an imposing total of 255-7 in their 40 overs based around a fine hundred from Yoav Lebens, with good support from Ash Dabhi (42), Grendowicz (21) and Francis (18), and Yusuf Ramzan bowled well to take 5-60. In reply, we posted a respectable but insufficient score of 170-4, Yusuf Ramzan (40*) and Ringer (39) topping the scoring, with a quickfire 18* from Asad Ali rounding off our innings.

CLS 255-7, 40 overs (Lebens 101, Dabhi 42, Grendowicz 21, Francis 18, Sheldon W 14, Ramzan 5-6 (8 overs), Bennett 1-46 (8 overs), Asad Ali 0-40 (8 overs), Stokes 0-49 (8 overs))
OCCC 170-4, 40 overs (Ramzan 40*, Ringer 39, Todd 25, Saldanha A 22, Asad Ali 18*, Stokes 14, Lebens 2-25 (8.1 overs), Gohar 1-25 (8 overs), Anjum 1-34 (9 overs), Sarodia 0-24 (5 overs), Francis 0-42 (7 overs))

Well done to the school for a fine all round performance, and we hope they enjoy their upcoming cricket tour. Thanks to Robin Edmundson for organising the fixture, and for all his help in encouraging schoolboys to play for us.
