Aston beat
Spondon to set up a tense final few weeks of the indoor season.
Both teams have now lost one game and the league could be
settled on averages. In the match Spondon looked set for a
large total at 62-2 from 4 overs. However they collapsed to
78-5 after 6 and skipper Joe Ashdown contributed 68* which saw
his side to a competitive 119. Aston set about their reply
aggressively, reaching 48-1 from 3 overs. They lost one more
wicket in achieving victory by 4 wickets, with 5 balls to spare,
with skipper Fazal Khan 26* and A. Bhattie 27*. Veteran Rafkat
Ali only came to watch and support, however the ever late
arriviing Trevor Archibald meant he had to play. He contributed
18*, hitting the winning runs and also hitting two sixes.
Elvaston shot A & B out for 31 of which Richard Ottewell
contributed 29! Charlie Ault 28* saw them home in two overs and
4 balls.
Ilkeston
relieved their relegation threat with a good victory of third
place Brailsford. A good all round performance from veteran
Martin Brandrick 25* and 2-28.
Division 2, Marehay closed the gap on West Hallam reaching 139-5
with a contribution of 47* from Adrian Vickarage. Two games
were forfeited in Division 2 which is always a disappointment.
