Hot day at the Oval
Fuengirola (139 all out) lose to Combined Colleges who managed to knock up a winning 140/7.
On another hot but breezy Sunday afternoon at the Cartama Oval Fuengirola won the toss and elected to bat. Fuengirola made 139 in 25 overs, a very acceptable run rate of 5.5 an over. However the key to their demise were four absolutely stunning catches made by the Combined Colleges fielders. All four were going at bullet speed and would have impressed any Test Match crowd.
The pick of the four was made by Brian Barrett who hung on to what would have been a certain boundary six if it hadn't been for his cat-like reaction to claw it safely into his hands.In reply Combined Colleges made a light work response although not winning as comfortably as they thought on 140/7.
This week at the oval (Sunday 25th)Costa del Sol CC take on a challenge from the newly reformed Mijas CC which should be an interesting encounter.
