Inn at the Park have finished the season on 18 points after a comfortable 111 run victory over St Ronald at Duthie Park 1, a victory that means the DeC Rebels must now beat Dutchmill by 59 runs or 6 wickets in their rearranged match if they are to retain the title.
On a perfect night for cricket, the Park batted first and reached 191 for 7 after 20 overs. Main contributions with the bat were Sajid (32 no), Ali (32 no), Phil G (19), Mudassar (17) and Bill Caffyn (15 no). Pick of the bowlers were Nitin (2 for 23 off 3 overs), Sunil (1 for 15 off 2 overs) and Aftab (1 for 15 off 2 overs). In reply St Ronald batted well but were not able to keep up with the run rate against a strong Park bowling line-up, reaching 80 for 7 at the close, with Sunil (14) and Afai (19) top scoring for St Ronald. Unfortunately a top edge to the chin brought Rob's tidy innings to a premature end on 9 no (sport hurts !!). Pick of the bowlers for the Park were Arshad (2 for 9 off 4 overs) and Ali (2 for 16 off 4 overs).
