Report by David Potter:
Notwithstanding some fine individual performances, the East League would be
disappointed to lose this game to a strong Scottish Universities side.
On a fine day, the Universities won the toss and batted first to post a good
total of 249, with Mel Clench being the pick of the East's bowlers with 3 for
47. In reply, the East started well with a good opening partnership of 54 between
Craig Walker and and Keith Flannigan, but the middle order sadly collapsed to
the spin of Aditya Pusalkar (5 for 19) with only Omar Ahmad and Shannon Bonfield
putting up any resistance. Nevertheless, it was a fine day's cricket and quite
a few players have cause to be proud of their efforts.

Omar Ahmad hits out on his way to a fine 41....
But defends this time....
Effort ball....
Ben Duerden (also Carlton) chases... had scored a fine half-century (retired)
earlier on for the Uni's....
Them flats look a bit wonky, or is it just my eyesight? (explains a lot if so)

View to the Pentlands....
Keith Meakin (Grange (and ex-DAFS!!) ) has joined Shannon....
Keith faces a loopy one from Pusalkar, who was chief destroyer of ESCA batting with 5 wickets for 19....
Glenrothes (Greg Hopcroft) to Murrayfield-DAFS (Melv Clench)....
And our Melv is soon batting, as ESCA's innings is crumbling....
Final man, Skipper Ross Brooks about to fall LBW.... a comfortable 59 run win for the Universities XI against an off-colour ESCA.
