Oxford Downs 26 July 2024

Manager Paddy Daniel

Lost by 77 Runs

Oxford Downs 302 for 5 dec 

SOA 225 all out (Junaid Aziz 81, David Eaton 73)

SOA arrived on the Friday of the Oxford Downs cricket week to play for the Paul Collins memorial trophy. Having won the toss SOA captain Paddy Daniel asked the Downs to bat knowing the Downs had a strong batting line up & they certainly did not disappoint. The SOA bowlers toiled away but were dispatched to many parts of Standlake. Downs posting a swash buckling 302 for 5 dec off 42 overs with Freddie Smith Scoring 93no off 46 balls.

After a fantastic tea the SOA attempted to chase down the 302 but despite decent contributions from Junaid Aziz 81 & Dave Eaton 73 we were soundly beaten by 77 runs.

Many thanks to Bob Belcher for umpiring & Sue Hayes for scoring.
