Optimists Cricket Club

OCC dodged the showers today to win a rain-shortened match against Antwerp Indians by 7 wickets. Having bowled out AICC for 226 in 43.3 overs (Gandhi 3-38), OCC had 25 overs to score 129 and reached the target in 18 overs for the loss of Will Heath for 41, Saransh Kulshrestha for 15 and Timothy Barker for 34, leaving Joost Mees on 30 no.

With 2 matches still to play (30/08 at Mechelen Eagles and 20/09 against the Greens), we have now won all 6 matches so far played, with promotion to the first division now more likely than not.

Congratulations to the team and thanks to all who braved threatening weather to come down and support.
