The Over 40’s capped off a memorable season last night with another convincing win against Timperley securing top spot, promotion to Division 2 and a top of the table finish.
Batting first, unbeaten 30s from Vivek Tharaken and Adnan Shafiq provided the bedrock for a total of 132. The early efforts of our guests to chase the target looked promising, but wickets from Parvez Mirza and Zain Ali snuffed out any hope of an upset.
This season could have been a tricky transition but with a mix of established and newer faces, the team has gone from strength to strength led by the indefatigable Vivek Tharaken.
With 10 victories from 12 matches, one defeat and one abandonment, the team can look forward to the challenge of the higher standard of division 2 with optimism and confidence.
Big thanks to all players, who have represented the club with such distinction, particularly Vivek for his astute leadership and Gareth Tuff for his sterling work on and off the pitch.
Special congratulations to Zain Ali on winning player of the season!
