Cricket - 1st XI

v Cambridge

Date: Saturday, 17 January 2015
Result: Won

On Saturday the 1st XI took on Cambridge in the first match of the club competition for 2015. After a considerable lay off from playing all the bowlers bowled well with debutant Reuben Rajan taking 2 for 20 from 5 and Scott Spence 2 for 16 from 6. Eli Spadoni bowled very well to take 4 for 47 from 12 overs as Cambridge were bowled out for 155.

In reply St Paul's made a good start through Reed Fisher 13 and Dillon Kelliher 23 to be 40 without loss. St Paul's then lost 6 wickets for only 19 runs before Reuben Andrews with an excellent 45 and coach Mark Bailey 35 got St Paul's back in the match. With both those players out and still needing 18 to win with only 2 wickets left, Simon Morbey 10 not out and Scott Spence 8 not out showed cool heads to get St Paul's home for the win by 2 wickets.
