Match Report Date 02/08/11 Oppo – Wellow (A) Type – 40 Overs Report by Liam Mulholland The O`s started the tour in great style winning back the tour trophy against another useful Wellow team. Batting first O`s posted a very tidy score of 212 which included contribution from tour newbies Kumar(59) & Williams(45),a very youthful O`s team with 4 players under 16 fancied their chances at tea as their played with their conkers and marbles but a stand of 76 between Daley and Trutwein quickly crushed O`s hopes but Skipper Heed shuffled his bowlers well with Riches(3-31) & Richardson(4-48)ripping through the middle order to turn the game on its head and it was left to young 13 year old Anujan Thiru to finish off the match as he bowled Poolman who made a fine 71 to clinch the match for the O`s by 17 runs,as the players supped on their fanta and hot milk talk was high of winning all 3 games which had never been achieved by the old guard,we shall see young boys,we shall see.
