What a game of cricket, finished on the last ball of the game in the good old Edinburgh 'haar!'
Leith FAB vs Marchmont, Terry Newcombe QF @ Leith Links
Marchmont won toss and fielded
Leith - 202 for 5 (off 20) Tariq 72, Devaras 57, S Marr 2-48
Marchmont - 203 for 5 (20 overs) W Collier 58, S Mathers 49, P Maksimczyk 35*, R Mathos 2-37
Marchmont win by 5 wickets.
Well it's not often you get 400+ runs in a 20|20 game. Needed 13 off the last over to win. Steve M run out off the first, but Pete (and I) saw us home with a scampered 2 off the last ball.
May just have to get the scorecard done quickly on this one
That's the third game of the season where it all came down to the final ball, but even more so with wickets also counting!
Fantastic effort to all the guys, particularly the batsmen when it mattered. Well done to Leith too as they did bat very well (even though we did help by bowling poorly). Thought Alex Sutcliffe was great for them in the field and with ball.
3-2-1
3 - Will - a fantastic knock paced exceptionally well
2 - Steve M - almost saw us home, but it was also his last over that contributed
1 - Pete - good with the ball, but better with bat tonight. 8 off the last two balls...no problem!
Proud to be Marchmont!
