A win away from the top of the log

The Elsburg Eagles Cricket Club are creeping closer to topping the Promotion League log, with one match to go.

The club faced CBC Cricket Club in their penultimate match of the season, at the Elsburg Eagles Main Oval in Dinwiddie.

The Eagles won the toss and sent the visitors into bat first as the pitch was still wet and favoured the bowlers.

CBC was only able to knock up a total of 69 runs, all out, in their allotted 50 overs.

The day’s top bowlers were Billy Millar, with four wickets for 22 runs in 20 overs and Garreth Hann, with four wickets for 38 runs in 10 overs.
