The Sunday XI's impressive form continued with a victory on the road at Fiskerton.
Despite Saturday's heavy rain, a dry wicket greeted the teams on which Calverton had first use. Run scoring proved to be difficult in a reduced 30 overs a side game on a wicket that turned appreciably. With five wickets down in next to no time, it was left to Matt Dean (30) and Skipper Darren Wright (38 not out) to give the total a boost. Adam Carratt coming in at 9 also contributed with 21. With the next highest score being 'extras' a final total of 141-8 off 30 overs was reasonable given the way the ball was spinning.
Brinsley Kirkham was asked to open the bowling and the ball turned miles! After 6 overs Brins' figures were 5-15 and Fiskerton's batting was in disarray. Despite 40 from Fiskerton's number 6, the hosts were bowled out in the 24th over. Matt Dean claiming 3 wickets & Luke Chadbourne the other one as victory was recorded by 33 runs.
Four more points and still top of the league!
MOM Brinsley Kirkham.
