THE SULLY Spartans were ready to play Lisvane home and away but were told three days before the away game that a craft festival was to be held on Llandaff fields so the away game for the first team was cancelled and it was down to the second team to come up with the goods at Wenvoe.

Losing the toss the Spartans were put into bat and after the loss of Sablu for 13 with the score on 25 it was down to Blesson and Saied to take control and push the score on.

At 116 Saied was out for an excellent 46 and then entered Tibin who with Blesson put on 50 before Blesson was out for a top score of 63 leaving the Spartans 166 for 3.

A mini collapse left the home side at 186 for 7 and runs were desperately needed to give the away side a decent total to chase.

Sathish and Morgan entered the fray and in the final four overs amassed 35 runs giving the Spartans a closing total of 221 for 7 after the allotted 40 overs.

Chasing 222 Lisvane were chipping away at the target but also losing wickets at regular intervals as Morgan's 4 for 32 from nine overs and Bhat's 3 for 33 from nine overs were to confirm.

Two quickfire stands of 60 and 46 pushed the score to 171 for 9 but it was to little to late as Sully beat Lisvane by 50 runs.
