Today the 1sts had a 7 o clock wake up before making the journey to the artillery ground to play Maris Stella College, they made a good start batting first with Alex Corbett confidently hitting an impressive 92 in tricky conditions, to help the team reach a total of 198. Unfortunately they went on to narrowly lose by 3 wickets.

The 2nds had a slightly earlier wake up of 6:30 in order to travel to the SLLDC ground. Facing valiant opposition from St Sebastian College. After winning the toss they made a stellar start with openers Elliot Northam (74) and Pasca Mutuweka (52) hitting impressive scores to get the engine started. This allowed them to reach a total 214 with a sharp cameo from Jack Young (27*) to round up a brilliant innings.

With Lottie Allen scoring a confident 35 not out in an attempt to win the game. The girls fielded well but couldn’t quite keep their opponents quiet and narrowly lost by 20 runs.

After a long days cricket for all the teams, we all travelled to the famous cricket cafe in which it has hosted the barmy army many a times. On route we passed the astonishing Lotus tower, the 9th tallest building in Asia with glistening light displays along the side. After gathering in the cosy upstairs of the cricket cafe, we indulged in some well needed chicken beef burgers, accompanied with a side of fries. Following with delicious ice cream, all in front of live cricket and some excellent service from Raj, with jokes from him which got the whole room going. Overall, another excellent day of cricket!
