Oppo – Capricorn (h)
Type – 40 Overs
Report by Liam Mulholland.

On winning the toss skipper Revell had no hesitation in batting in perfect conditions as in previous years our old nemesis 
Capricorn have rattled up some huge scores. Opener James was told to stop taking about your 81 year old career for once and 
don`t come back without a 50. Kumar and James started very aggressively pounding boundaries for fun until Kumar went for 32 
in the 11th over with the score on 68. James and the veteran L.Mulholland carried on the good work with James reaching his 
50 in fine style with a triumphant punch of the air and a scream of `I`m doing it for you skip` soon after James went to a 
fine catch in the deep for 54 in a stand of 89 in 11 overs. Tooth joined Mulholland and looked set for yet another 50 when he 
was stumped for 37 in a stand of 72 in 11 overs. Riches joined in the fun with some lusty boundaries as Mulholland creamed 
yet another boundary to go to his hundred in the 39th over, not a bad week for the washed up has been. The O`s delighted with 
a massive 286-3 off 40 overs. For once Capricorn had a big total to chase and chase they did going at a decent rate with even 
last minute call up from South Woodford 13 year old Ollie Black cracking a big six of POTY Hillier, skipper Revell shuffled 
his bowlers around well keeping Tooth up his sleeve until the death, the boundary catch to dismiss Skipper S.Patel for a fine 
62 by one bounce Kumar clinched victory for the O`s with skipper Revell unselfishly taking himself out of the attack whilst 
on 4-46 to allow Singh the final wicket as Capricorn were bowled out for 227. The first victory over Capricorn since 2001 in 
yet another high scoring game as the O`s good Sunday run continues.
