Big win for VECC Golds & another century for run king at Pelican

The Golds visited Parbury Park at swansea to take on Swansea Hotel and given this was Jamie Smiths old club he knew some pressure was going to be put on him.We lost the toss and bowled first,Alex Rodger and Glen Schrader opened the bowling and both made scoring difficult taking a wicket a piece.Nic Babic continued to make runs hard to come by with figures of 1 for 30 off 10 overs and changed up his pace very effectively,Phil (Mr Reliable) Jones bowled well with 2 wickets,C Bonner 1 wkt and if about 6 catches were taken some bowling figures could of looked a whole lot better.Considering Swansea were 2 for 70 at 17 overs the boys did a great job for the next 18 overs leaving Swansea 6 for 154, as the blues players know this ground is a 200 plus ground.Daniel Franey deserves a special mention his fielding was superb.THE RUN CHASE began with J Smith and C Bonner starting nice and steady before the skipper found another way to get himself out 1 for 30.Jamie brought his KOOKABURRA out to play and started to open the shoulders hitting to all parts of the ground,Nic mainly watched on before he to was out fairly cheaply 2 for 112.Jamie was heckled continually but that didnt stop the KOOKABURRA, 107 notout another ton for him 2 so far this season (plenty more we hope),Matt Jones 5 no got the winning runs.A fantastic result in so many aspects.WELL DONE GUYS.
