The Bombers break their duck in a thriller against IPAccess
Just a quick note to say thanks to IPAccess for their help in organising the friendly 40/40 match against the Club Captain's XI last Sunday.
Match Summary:
IPAccess skipper Ukesh won the toss and elected to bat and with the aid of some swashbuckling partnerships and a rain-break they managed to push the total to a respectable 204 before being all out on the last ball of the innings. Both Russell and Little Sharon Cooke bowled with pace and accuracy while the Cambourne fielders did an excellent job of chasing down the lusty blows offered up by the IPA batsmen.
A delicious tea was provided by the IPA team and their wives and provided a nice pause in play to allow the team to collect their reward of the Twenty/20 challenge Cup and for the successful 3s to have a team photo with their players.
Play resumed at a pace with Russell batting like a man possessed with superb backup from former IPAccess member Sanjay at the other end giving Cambourne a run-rate of nearly 10 an over. After the opening pair had departed, the runs kept accumulating through the hands of Vivu, Vavu and Cookie despite the loss of a few wickets. Christopher Cundell and Valerie Healy holding their nerve to hit the winning runs with over 9 overs to spare.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and I'd like to say a special thank you to Nitin Bagul, who played his last game for CCC as he is moving away. Thanks Nitin - hope you enjoyed your brief stay at the Club.
Thanks again to Ukesh for his help in organising this - see you next year...
Cheers,
Mark
