Action at the coast

There has been plenty of action at the coast recently, mostly centred around Mombasa Jafferys who have hosted a number of junior and community events.

In a warm up to the upcoming Junior Tournament on 31st October, Abbasali Mawji (40*), Kazimali Jaffer (2-0-11-4) and Siddiq Samani (2-0-8-3) combined to give their side a crunching 30 run win in a 10 over match.

In a community match the following day, Arman Warriors edged out Imamia Electrocutors by just 7 runs in a tightly fought 20-20 match.

Arman Warriors batted first scoring 118/8 in their 20 overs with Aliasger Abdalla (26), Mazhar Kassamali (16)and Husayn Virjee (15*) the main contributors. Pick of the bowling for the electrocutors was Mujahid Janmohammed who took 3/11 off his 4 overs while Kumayl Virjee took 2/10.

In reply Mohammed Fazel (35) and Mohammed Merali (28) had the Electrocutors looking good until some quick wickets and tight bowling stifled the run rate leaving them 7 runs short. Pick of the Warriors bowling was Miqdad Walji (2/16) with Husein Allidina, Fazle Kassamali, Shamil Khalfan and Mujtaba Janmohammed picking up a wicket each.

RVSC and Spinknit win in Crown Berger 20-20 matches

RVSC defeated Khalsa XI and Spinknit accounted for PBH Royal Cubs in the weekend games in the RVCA Crown Berger 20-20 tournament over the weekend.

In Game 5, Khalsa XI won the toss and elected to field with their top order all getting decent starts. Gunnaskekaran (37) and Nilesh Mehta (16) set the early tempo with Kulveer Ruprai (37*) and V.P. Singh (28) looking to consolidate. RVSC stuck to their guns however and the removal of Singh and Khalsa's efforts to up the run rate resulted in a spurt of wickets to see them close on 142/5 after their 20 overs. Pick of the bowling for RVSC was Rahul ? (2/25)

the RVSC reply was lead from the beginning by the in-form Luke Nightingale who steered his side to victory with an unbeaten 73. Chris Sterling contributed 23, but Khalsa will rue the 20 extra's that was third highest scorer as RVSC got home with 6 wickets and 2.4 overs in hand.

Game 6 saw spinknit bat first after winning the toss and setting an impressive 170/7 in their allotted overs. Minesh Bhatt retired after scoring 60 and a late flourish from Jatin Patel (31) did the damage. Jaymin Patel picked up 3/36 for the Cubs with Raj Patel and Ravi Patel taking one each.

PBH in reply had little answer to the spinknit bowlers with all who were used taking wickets. Indravadan Patel (2/6), Ahmed ? (2/7) and D.K ?? (2/10) the main destroyers. In the end a comfortable win for spinknit as the PBH Royal Cubs innings folded for just 68.

Swamibapa A are new Super League champions

Swamibapa A went into their final game against Stray Lions A at a well prepared Permier Club ground knowing that a win would finally break the Kanbis strangle hold on the trophy. Acting Swamibapa captain, Peter Ongondo, won the toss and opted to bat with most of the team chipping in with knocks to take the side to a total of 215 all out.

Tony Suji (39), Maurice Ouma (33), Francis Otieno (34), Lameck Onyango (29) and Peter Ongondo (24) all batted well for thir runs against the tight bowling of the Lions lead by Jimmy Kamande (3/49) and Hiren Variya (2/25).

In reply Stray Lions, had little answer to the Swamibapa bowlers with only Collins Obuya (21), Hiren Variya (22) and David Obuya (20) getting going. Pick of the bowlers for Swamibapa were Peter Ongondo (1/17), Nehemia Odhiambo (3/30) and an outstanding James Otieno (4/9). In the end, Stray Lions only managed to score 108 all out in 26.4 overs and Swamibapa clinched a well-deserved title after a long wait.

Swamibapa acting Captain, Peter Ongondo(in place of the injured captain Joseph Angara) praised his team for good show and excellent team work for the success of winning the championship after a lapse of five years and he dedicated this championship victory to Premjibhai Khoda, Swamibapa's long time serving Team manager who was recently hospitalised and wished him a quick recovery.

The match was played in excellent sportsmanship and was umpired by Subhash Modi and Rockie D'Mello
