CCC slipped to a narrow defeat in a thrilling encounter with Fenham at Blue Flames.
On a breezy cool evening CCC won the toss and elected to bat. It was a sensible decision on a hard pale-coloured wicket that allowed the ball to come onto the bat but also offered something for the bowlers. Nick and Chris opened expertly again. Nick was to top score with 40 and played a couple of lovely clips for 6 off his legs. Chris scored 22, and Nick was then supported by Simon E (14), Khalid and Peter. Mudassar came in to face three balls against his old team and launched a four to cow corner.
117-4 off 12 overs was a decent score, and it looked even better with Guy and Khalid bowling the first 5 overs tightly. Unfortunately Mukhtar took to the back up bowlers and Fenham eventually achieved their target for 6 wickets with 3 balls remaining.
A much better all round performance by CCC in agame that could have been won.
