Sporting Alfas Cricket Club Lost by 102 runs

Match report Friday, April 11th

Westminster 270-9 (40 overs)
SACC MW 169-8 (40 overs)

The tourists from London won the toss and batted first. Holt (41) and Rankine put on 87 for the first wicket before Rankine fell to Pennick for 54. The next major partnership, featuring Patel (55) and Hadcock (26), took the score from 130 to 203. With wickets tumbling, and with Jack Hersh chipping in with four wickets from his late three-over spell, the visitors continued to score freely to end up posting a very challenging 271 run target with late-order contributions from Fitzsimons (14), Clancy (21), and Stewart (15). All the Alfas bowlers and fielders stuck to their task gamely though Hickie (three fine catches in the deep), Pennick (a low diving catch at point and a run out) and Rose (two catches) were particularly outstanding. In reply, Pennick and Hersh were pegged back by accurate spells from the burger-fuelled tourist openers, but put on more than fifty for the first wicket before first Hersh (21) then Pennick (65) fell to the excellent Wheeler, who ended up with the fine figures of 2 for 21 off his seven overs. When guest batsman Ireland went for 23 with the home side still requiring around 15 from each of the final ten overs, the rest of the MW middle order struggled, especially against the rapid leg-spin of Scott, whose six overs from the bottom end yielded three wickets and cost just 13 runs. Ending up just over a hundred runs short, it was left to the undefeated Howden and Bellis to ensure that the home side at least managed to bat out their overs. A deserved victory to the lads from Westminster School, and good luck to them for the coming season.
