The chase was anything but straightforward. On a tricky surface, Keith Hutchinson (33), Bhagya Jayasiri (24) and (21) all dug in, but regular wickets meant FCC were never quite in control.

With the game heading for a dramatic finish, Pemba’s late cameo swung the momentum back towards FCC before the visitors found themselves needing the final runs with just one wicket remaining. Thankfully, unlike Arsenal in a Champions League final, FCC held their nerve when it mattered most. Payney, Nayan and Dhruvin somehow found a way over the line, sealing victory with just one ball to spare.

Four wins from four, plenty of heart attacks, and FCC 2nd XI keep marching on.

A remarkable Saturday afternoon at Frindsbury Cricket Club…

After winning the toss and electing to bat first, the Berries made one of their worst starts to an innings in a long time. The collapse of the top order saw the home team at 18-5 from 8 overs, a real shock considering their flying start to the season.

Determined to change the sides fortunes, Was Zakir joined Jacob Knight in the middle and began to fight back. By the 33rd over, Was had brought up a magnificent 100 to rescue the side back to 160-5 at this stage. But the pair weren’t done, with a well crafted 50 from Jacob in support, Was continued to do the damage as the two put on a monster 201 partnership, Was finishing on 151!

The Roebucks came out in pursuit of 255 but never really got going thanks to good spells from both opening bowlers. Regular wickets, including 4 from Mark Gracey, saw the opposition bowled out for 156 inside 39 overs, just in time for the players of an Arsenal persuasion to catch extra time!
