CCC put in a mixed bag of a performance against local rivals ORPS on Wednesday to stay in the promotion hunt.
An outstanding fielding and bolwing performance dismissed ORPS for 84. Majid took 5-27, with Mark, Fiaz, Matty, Ewan and Chandra (2-0 off 5 balls) all chipping in, whilst the catching and ground fielding was excellent: Nick (2), Simon E and Mark (a special effort) all taking catches in the deep.
This was a simple target despite the absence of Chris, but CCC never make things straightforward. Greg and Nick went in the first over. A period of retrenchment against good bowling from Arun and Xohaib nudged the score up into the thirties, before a decisive partnership between Fiaz (41) and Majid (25) almost saw CCC home. That was until a spate of nervous wickets at the end left Mudassar to chip two runs with an over left to see CCC home by 3 wickets.
