Levante’s first ever trip to La Manga resulted in the Valencia based side taking maximum points from Torrevieja.
The visitors won the toss and elected to field, a decision based on their bowling strength. Soon, Torrevieja were in trouble as the Levante attack skittled through the fragile batting of the home side, taking wickets at regular intervals. Young Michael Carter batted admirably for his 13 and captain Lee Brown top scored with 14 as the home side were finally all out for just 72 runs.
Dave Tivey with three wickets for four runs was the pick of the bowlers, whilst Rich Graham and Scott Burchill with two wickets each also deserve a mention.
In reply Torrevieja looked rarely troubled. The early loss of skipper Noon for two was the only blemish as Mark Green (30 not out) and Graham Hunt (38 not out) continued an unbroken second wicket partnership to win the game for Levante easily with only 12.3 overs used.
Maximum points for Levante and 1 point for Torrevieja. The result sets up a top of the table clash tommorrow with unbeaten La Manga.
