FA came out firing on all cylinders however, could not put together partnerships under the pressure and this saw wickets falling a regular intervals. Lloyd Ramdeen picking up four wickets for 14 runs in his four overs was crucial in helping to restrict the chase.

Top scoring for FA was Zaheer with 27 (13) runs however this would not be enough and the FA team were all out for 103 with the last wicket falling in the very last over, giving Aster the win by 24 runs.

On November 24, Colita played a 30 over match against Aster.

Aster won the toss and decided to bat first. Colita would strike early with some smart work from the wicket keeper to get rid of the danger man Prenay but this would be the only one of two wickets to fall as Aster took charge of the game despite some chances being created by Colita but not taking them.

Mitchell scoring an unbeaten 101 (73) would help Aster to a very decent total of 210/2 in their allotted 25 overs due to a rain delayed reduced game. Best bowler for Colita and taking the only wicket was Tavish with one wicket for 25 runs in five overs bowled.

Colita, although in good spirit with several school boys making their debuts for the club, never posed much threat with the senior players going out cheaply as Aster with well worked plans made sure many of the more recognised Colita batsman had short stays in the middle.

Suvedh top scoring with 40 (23) was responsible for almost most of the Colita runs as they could only manage 103 all out giving Aster the win by 107 runs.

Best bowler for the Aster team was Sainesh picking up five wickets for 25 runs in his five overs bowled.
