The Albert was looking dry as the toss was made and HKCCchoose to bat giving members of their team time to recuperate from what, by all accounts, had been abig night at Southbank.The MCC XXIX Club team was an enticing mixture of the youth and experience, which had the visitorson the ropes early 1/1, but the success was short-lived as Shane Sibraa (74) and Stephen Snell (75 retired)took control. The bowlers toiled hard, with a numerous combinations of the youth and experiencetested, but to no avail as HKCC went on to score 6/280.In reply, MCC XXIX Club started well but were no match for HKCC, finishing with 8/160. Will Sawyer(27) and Matthew Scholten (38) were the pick of the batsmen.The post match BBQ was enjoyed by all and the HKCC tourists left the Albert with a decisive win undertheir belts and the rest of their tour ahead of them.Many thanks to umpires Adrian Crawley and David D’Altera, scorer Barrie Hopkins and theredoubtable Jack Huxtable.Paul BarkerManager16

In game one against PCA, we lost the toss and bowled. We fielded extremely well, took allcatches and a runout. The bowling honours went to Mick McCarthy and Adrian Fidler. We restrictedthe PCA to 125 after bowling them out in the 18th over. The XXIX Club batted solidly, the runscoming from Will Sawyer, Ron Shugg and Mick McCarthy - a win to the XXIXers was never in doubt.In the second match against SKOB’s, reduced to15 overs each, we won the toss and batted. SKOB’s hada few current district players who kept things tight. Good late batting from Ron Shugg and Tim Nortongot our score to a respectable 104. SKOB’s made a strong early start, and while the run rate was ahead,they lost regular wickets passing the XXIXers score five down.It was an enjoyable day even with the heat. Our thanks go to the Primary Club organisers for the venueand lunch.Andrew WallisManagerMCC XXIX CLUB v ST KEVINS OLD BOYS (Twenty20)MCC XXIX CLUB5/104 (18 OVERS)Played at: Xavier College on February 18, 2007LOST TOST KEVINS OLD BOYS5/105 (18 OVERS)BATTING BOWLING BATTING BOWLINGW Sawyer 0 A Varasdi 23L Darybshire 13 A Giffin 15M Langley 24 R Hewett 26 1/8 (3)M McCarthy 6 2/27 (3) K Hewett 6 1/19A Wallis 15 I Hewett 13 1/17 (2)P Shugg 26 M Blood 2 n.o. 0/20 (2)T Norton 14 n.o.
