MATCH REPORT FOR 19 AUGUST 2007 The weather took it's toll again this weekend. Some clubs have now had up to a record 5 fixtures to the wet weather this season. In division one, the match between Lankians and Neasden which would have virtually sealed the loser's fate to division 2 cricket next season was one that was lost to the weather. Embassy are champions of division 1, 9 years after joining the league. Embassy's game against Kingsbury Construction was washed out and with Stanmore Jaffrey's withdrawal, Embassy have created a 22 points gap between themselves and 2nd placed Anson. Kondor and West Harrow will both play division one cricket and will play each other in their final match of the season on 2nd September 2007 to decide who goes up as champion. Kondor managed to play their fixture against Bharat Olympians which turned out to be a low scoring match. Bharat Olympians were restricted to 95 in 35.2 overs with Harshad Patel taking 3-23 and Dhiran Haria 2-14. Kondor also struggled with the bat, however Rishi Kotecha made a match winning 31 not out as Kondor got home by 5 wkts. In division 3, Indiana's match against Sayona was washed out, however they remain on top and now only have to win against Regency in the last game of the season to go up as champions. Regency were crushed by 8 wickets by Young Lions and look to be heading for a winless league season. Sojal Chaudary 55no and Pradip Solanki 5-33 starred for EKTA in their 7 wicket win over Young Puthoharis. The Middx Premier Cup will be played on Sunday 26th August between Rajput Samaj and Sri Lankan Cavaliers at Headstone Manor, North Harrow with the match starting at 11.00. The plate final will also be contested on the same ground between Embassy and Kingsbury Construction. |
