red24 make hard yards on the pitch

The red24 win streak continued last night at the Stadium of Light at the expense of Chatz Playaz. Batting first red24 piled on the early pressure with Cath and Dre putting up a decent 46 run opening partnership against the hapless CP bowling attack. Rob and Taz built on the early dominance compiling a modest 32. The talk of the innings was the emergence of Jon Tonker Vincent who caned like sugar farmer on red bull. His Lara-esque demolition of the Chatz bowlers showed the benefit of performance enhancing KFC prior to a game and ensured that the selection committee will have no choice but to select him in the forthcoming fixtures. Tonker was ably assisted by the in-form Camilla, the destroyer, who easily had her best batting performance of the season. The gloss of the near perfect innings came to a grinding halt in the 13rd over as Alice and Luke (replacement players) struggled against the Chatz fightback. The red24s finished their 16 overs on 108...way below there 12 over projected tally of 170+.

Chasing 108 was never going to be easy for the team affectionately known as alimentadores del fondo. Luke and Alice partly redeemed themselves in the opening exchanges with their combined 4 overs going for a measly 20 runs. After such a fiery display it was always going to be difficult for del fondo. With 80 odd to get off 72 balls the del fondos succumbed to the pressure and imploded to 93 in their 16 leaving red24 with a well-deserved albeit unneccesarily close 15 run victory. red24 will have much to do in the coming weekend ahead of their do or die clash on Monday 5 July (18:30) against Lovers Plus. Lovers have recently recalled star playmaker, Fabio Fantastique, who will be key to Lovers hopes of scoring...a victory.
