ORIHUELA BEAT SAN FULGENCIO
Despite scoring only 92 runs Orihuela put in a spirited bowling performance to bowl out San Fulgencio for just 71 and win the game by 21 runs
San Fulgencio won the toss and elected to field. Several of the Orihuela batsmen got themselves a start but none of them managed to get a substntial score thanks to some tight bowling by the home side.
Orihuela were finally out for 92 in the 26th over with young Ashley Williams mopping up the tail, taking 4 wickets for 11 runs. Her bowling was even the more impressive as only 2 runs came from the bat, the rest being wides.
In response San Fulgencio started tentatively and the game was evenly poised at the 10 over lunch interval with the hosts on 23 for 2.
Quick wickets after the lunch break left SFL searching for a good innings from someone. Unfortunately, that did not materialse despite a gutsy last wicket partnership of 19 from Jon Algar and Ashley Williams.
Jon Algar was the last to go with the score on 71, being caught and bowled by Mark Copperwheat. This came as a relief to the bowler who had dropped the same batsman a few overs earlier. SFL just missed out on a batting point and Orihuela went home with the spoils courtesy of some great bowling by all of the 7 bowlers that they used.
Orihuela took 16 points from the game whilst SFL collected 5 points. Both teams are in action later this month, Orihuela travelling to Bonalba to confront the Intellectuals and SFL entertain Sporting Alfas 2 at La Manga
