Conditions: Sunny and warm
After the first defeat of the season to Caldy last week, the Oxton lads welcomed back some of the regulars in their bid to return to winning ways. Up against them were a very strong first choice New Brighton team.
New Brighton batted first and off the very first ball, the opener feathered a catch to Max off the bowling of Dhruv. Further wickets soon followed and after just four overs, New Brighton were 3 wickets down. However, a solid partnership between L Botes and van Geffen soon restored parity, and big innings from o'Mahoney and S Botes saw New Brighton eventually race on to 142-6 off their allotted 25 overs.
In reply, Oxton soon discovered that they were up against some of the fastest bowling they had met this year, and despite brave attempts to hang in, the openers were both gone within 5 overs. Jack C was struck on the helmet and had to temporarily leave the field. Ben B-J and Raghurams tried to keep the innings going, but with the steady loss of wickets and the required run rate creeping ever upwards, Oxton faced a mountainous task. To their credit, they managed to bat out their 25 overs, but in truth they were well beaten by a very strong side. No disgrace.
Result
New Brighton win by 37 runs
