It has been a pleasure to be part of this competion. I and other Oaks members have SEL players on our friends list, so when they invited us to a match we had no hesitation in accepting.
They are a great bunch of players who, like us, play in a very friendly and sporting manner but also fiercely competitively.
After a tit for tat early start Grande Oaks were suddenly 4-8 down. To be honest this left us bloodied and a little rattled.
I had warned 'em in our forum, I knew SEL had a roster that could challenge any CC.
Then our middle order batsmen stepped up to the plate, the pressure was on, we had to start grinding out wins and sure enough we turned that scoreline round and squared the match at 10-10!
The remaining maches, I fancied our chances, we had some of our best hitters still to come.We eventually got the victory but after 10-10 there was never much in it and a clear winner couldn't be predicted. Exciting to the end, what a battle!
Thanks to Nico and everyone at SEL
