CCC achieved their first win of the season at Heaton last night as Division II ORPs were seen off in the first round of the Cup. CCC have won all five meetings with ORPs who retained their Division II place on the last day of the 2011 season at the expense of CCC.
Excellent bowling from Chris, Majid and Fiaz in particular saw the home side bowled out for just 109 from 15.3 overs. CCC achieved the target easily to win by 7 wickets with three overs remaining. Aletasters will be the opposition in round 2.
Such is the nature of the Mid Week League, and this season's Division III, that ORPs - though a decent enough side - were the weakest CCC has played so far. Very rusty performances saw easy wins for KSOB and Spitfires; the best team played so far, Ponteland Eagles, also won, although CCC more than matched them for three quarters of that match before slippingg at the final hurdle. Here's hoping for some improved league results and a run in the Cup.
CCC: Majid, Simon E, Fiaz, Mudassar, Peter, Greg, Chris N, Ruaidhri, Alan F, Matty, Guy
