Report
DUSCC achieved an excellent win over Strathmore in a game which was tightly contested but played in an excellent spirit. Early wickets left Strathmore 5-2 batting first but solid rebuilding and good hitting at the end of their innings enabled them to reach 97. Steve Cummings bowled effectively at the end to obtain figures of 2-0-6-3. The DUSCC innings started steadily rather than spectacularly, and it needed some big hitting from John Pravin and a penultimate over 6 from Scott Rodgers, who again played the role of finisher to his customary effect, to help us over the winning line.
