INTELLECTUALS TOO SMART FOR SAN FULGENCIO
The first game of the CE Development League took place at a sunny Woodbridge Oval last weekend between Intellectuals CC and league newcomers San Fulgencio.
Intellectuals won the toss and elected to bat, a decision that was vindicated with a 3rd wicket partnership of 126 between Allah Loak and Morgan. Allah Loak went on to carry his bat through the Intellectuals innings with a sublime 134 not out. That platform was consolidated further by useful knocks from Bashir (18) and McGarry (19) to carry the innings into maximum batting points territory. The hosts finally ended up with a formidable 283 for 5 off their allocated overs.
San Fulgencio´s reply in their first ever league game was spirited to say the least, and numerous Fulgencio players made useful contributions. Webster made a splendid 55 before being caught and bowled by Prior, and middle order contributions from John Algar and Griffiths kept the game interesting well into the Fulgencio innings.
The introduction of Keeling killed off any aspirations of winning Fulgencio may have had, with the Intellectuals bowler clearing up the tail end in clinical fashion to finish with the respectable figures of 3 for 33 off 7 overs.
Both teams played the game in great spirit and were a credit to their league. The Intellectuals return to the Woodbridge Oval for their next home match on the 23rd of May when they entertain Alcorcon CC of Madrid.
