LOSING the toss against Dinas Powys Cricket Club the Sully Cricket Club Spartans knew that after being put into bat they would have to battle against a good bowling attack and the soft ground after all the midweek rain.

At 35 for two Saeed Ali and Vishal Ghandt came in to bat and together put on 112 before Saeed was out for an excellent 47.

Sri then joined Vishal and continued the push until Sri was out for a quick fire 30.

Jacob then joined Vishal hitting another very quick score of 31 whilst Vishal carried on tormenting the bowling attack, hitting an unbeaten 118 as the Spartans hit 254 for six at the end of the 40 overs.

In response Morgan with nine overs three maidens two for 26 and Krishna T kept the opposition at bay, but it was left to man of the match Vishal G taking three wickets that turned the game in the home side favour.

Sathish took a well earned wicket and catch to finish the game with Dinas on 159 for eight and victory for the Spartans by 95 runs.
