Eagles suffer Promotion League loss
The Elsburg Eagles Cricket Club continued their Easterns Cricket League, with a loss in their Promotion League match on Sunday.
The Elsburg Eagles Cricket Club travelled to Willowmoore Park, on Sunday, to face the Tembisa Cricket Club in their Promotion League match.
The visitors lost the toss and were asked to bat first, posting an impressive score of 181, all out, in their 50 overs.
Kobus Black was the day’s top- scorer, making 63 runs before going out.
It was then Tembisa’s turn to bat, and the home side was able to beat the target in just 42 overs, therefore, winning the match by two runs, with five wickets in hand.
The Eagles’ top bowler was Billy Millar, who claimed three wickets in his 10 overs for 45 runs.
“The unexplainable happened this weekend, as we were sure we had Tembisa on the ropes.
“However, they managed to turn it around,” said Martiens Grobler, on behalf of the Eagles.
The Eagles will have to shake off this weekend’s loss as they dive into a weekend packed with matches.
The team will first face Boksburg Cricket Club, in the Second League, in an away match on Saturday.
On Sunday, at 9am, the club will play in the Promotion League, at the Scaw Main Oval in Dinwiddie, against the Avion Cricket Club, and then, at noon, in the Presidents League, at the Elspark Sports Complex, against the Bakerton YS Cricket Club.
