La Manga’s victory over one of their main rivals Madrid Cricket Club put them in pole position coming into the final games of this years ECCL Division II.
Madrid, the home side on the day, won the toss and elected to bat. Unable to see out all their overs the boys from the capital were all out for 131. Second team skipper George Wambeek did the damage, as his unorthodox spin bowling bagged three wickets for just 16 runs.
In reply La Manga overtook the sub-par total with 2.4 overs and six wickets to spare. Kevin Buckley and Viraj Singh scored the majority of the runs for La Manga whilst Solomon put in a useful performance with the ball for Madrid.
La Manga took 18 points from the game whilst Madrid took 4. Next week sees La Manga travel to Valencia for another top of the table clash.
