OD Week 1 Random Recap

Season 12 OD Week 1, and a scattered survey of the results is highighted by a razor-thin win by Philly Bluenose over Mud Poodles, who needed four to win off the final ball, but could only manage a single.  So Philly won by two runs, with Glasser and Lucas making centuries, and Mud Puds’ Dove scoring his own ton in a losing effort.

Doctors beat Batty Men by five runs at Pathetico Village, continuing on their Locals Only Cup winning form from the end of last season.  With Douglas Peters making 96 not out, Doctors posted 269.  Peters then bowled 10 relativey tight overs of his medium pace, and his fellow Doctors bowlers just barely held off Batty Men.

The Death Kinghts’ Edwin Wheeler took seven wickets for 42 runs to lead his club over Batletico by six runs,  Kirton’s century wasn’t enough for Batletico, who had a large total to chase due to The Death Knights’ keeper-captain Simba Fuller’s 86.

Ashuelot Valley’s Alexander Vuyani took seven for 38 against Les Miserables.  With Qualiey’s 120, Les Mis still set a good total of 225.  But Ashuelot chased it down easily, with Van Zy making 91.

Tommy Silk top-scored in Peters Utd’s match with The Flintstones with 160 not out, but it was not enough to stave off defeat.  Jerrell Dempster lead the run-chase for The Flintstones with an unbeaten 148, and the target was reached with an over to spare.
