The log leaders flex their muscles and finish off Klapmuts away (albeit a close game).

Excelsior II batted first and finished with 144/7 after 20 overs with F Rhoda (36 runs off 31 balls) and T Fredericks (26 runs off 21 balls) tops scoring for the away side.

Klapmuts started their innings well, protecting their wickets and holding on, but losing by only 1 run. Their opening pair top-scored, C Cornelius and R Malan, both 37 runs off 40 balls.

Excelsior II top the league and will move onto the play-offs.

 

We fell short, 3 short.

In a low scoring match against Raithby on 15 February, Excelsior I fell 3 short of a victory.

Put into bat, Raithby I faced a good bowling attack and ended up on 96 all out.

Excelsior I’s batting performance was lacking, losing wickets in regular intervals and fell 3 runs short of the total. Finishing 93 all out.

One day left for the Excelsior II team to take revenge on their first match loss of the season. The boys need to make up and show strength in this league. Good luck, boys!
