Bad Spirit ruins close game v Civil Service

ASCC v Civil Service, Rain delays covers on covers off how did Sports not get a winning draw ??

not a lot to say other than great bowling spells from youngsters Yorkie 14 overs 1 wkt for 45 runs and Harry Horlsey 15 overs 1 wkt for 66 runs Civil servie 211 from 50 overs

Fairly poor Spirit from Civil Service, arguing about Chasing total simple Math !! D2ckhead divide 50 by your score and then multiple by 29 you really are *******d, Sports finally had 29 overs to gain 123 or better 125 for anther point.

Ibby woke up with the bat after 3 shocking overs with the ball and scored 52 from 40 balls sports had the winning draw in place but quick wickets and Ibby not seeing home ended 2 runs short and lost 6 points, Battting is a major worry for Sports at present, no real conviction is evident.

feels like a lose but was’nt !!!  sh!t day all round, Ricey goes from 110 Not Out to a 2nd ball duck cricket brings you down very quickly

Ibby gets man of the match ??? surely 4-15 from Jonar Ahmed is worthy as they collected the winning draw ??

ASCC currently 6th being the only side to lose a game to the weather nothing changes there, 20 points of 2nd can the youth secure a top 2 berth this season ???
