With the absence of Brian Davis, Umar Malik took the reins of the 2nd xi captaincy.
Tring Park won the toss and put Windsor into bat. Windsor lost butt early but it was Riches and Chana who pushed on. Chana was next out, caught in the covers for a well played 31. Malik was next in but was run out without troubling the scorers. Huggins and Riches held the innings together with them both being dismissed in quick succession, Riches for a well deserved 50. Young George Gould and Murray came in the last 12 overs and contributed 20 and 50 respectively to take Windsor to 208 from their 52 overs.
Tring park started their inning well, taking advantage of anything loose from the Windsor openers. It was the bowling change of Kellard and Chana that bough two quick wickets for Windsor. The two spin twins bowled well in tandem, creating pressure for each other. The two took wickets at crucial times and finished the innings with Harmeet ‘dart pea’ Chana 5-58 off his 14 overs and Kellard finishing with 4 wickets.
All in all, a really gutsy performance from the Windsor team, and a much needed 25 points!
