LCC FANTASY CRICKET - WEEK 8 UPDATE

30 May 2021

Good afternoon all
 
Win number 5 yesterday against Twinstead away.
The ground was lovely, the weather was sunny but they unfortunately didn't have a
full team and had a couple of youngsters and we won by 159 runs!
The highest scorer for them was Dan Commons who was playing for them after finding out
he was number 11 for us. 
 
Superted's winning streak is up to 5 now but looking for revenge against
Wickham St Paul, away next week, will bring the biggest challenge yet.
 
The scores and table are attached. Geoff is still top of the leaderboard - just.
Some high scoring players yesterday.
Bevan moves to top of the players scoring table. 100 not out and includes bonus 100 points -
the first ton of the season.

LCC batted first, set 225 to win off 35 overs.
Bevan retired on 100 not out, Wellsy 58 not out

And finally, Wellsy........his straight 6! If you weren't at the game,
