Eagles celebrate Directors League victory
Elsburg Eagles Cricket Club continued their Easterns Cricket League campaign with a match against Bedfordview Cricket Club.
The Elsburg Eagles Cricket Club continued their Easterns Cricket League campaign last weekend.
The club had a Sunday Promotion League, a Saturday Third League, and a Sunday Directors League match scheduled for the weekend.
However, the club only played their Directors League match against Bedfordview Cricket Club, as the other matches were called off.
The Saturday Third League match was cancelled by the Easterns Cricket League and the Sunday Promotion League was declared a draw as the pitch was unplayable because of rain.
In the Directors League, the Eagles travelled to Bedfordview.
The home team batted first and set a target of 235 runs, all out, in their 50 allotted overs.
The day’s top bowlers were Len Jacobs with three wickets in 10 overs for 42 runs, Frank Williams with two wickets in 10 over for 45 runs and Theuns Herbst with two wickets in eight over for 52 runs.
The Eagles then had their turn at the crease and knocked up 236 runs, with a wicket in hand, winning them a match.
The matches’ top batsmen were Tiaan Smith with 60 runs, Pieter Nell with 35 runs and Herbst with 26 runs.
