First away game of the Season for Phoenix

Horton, with a new shape team gelled instantly for the match ahead.

Led on by the Captain Joe Maw, Horton took to the field to bowl and asked to open Fenton Morison and Bavinth Bhatta set about their task admirably. With good line, length and pace producing a tight spell of just 12 runs between them and 1 wicket.
Shuja and Gurshaan followed suit, backed up by Joe at the stumps and the team fielding very well, only 18 runs and 2 wickets.
Darshith and Kian took the brunt of the "hitting out" by Overstone but still with determination and will got two more fine wickets.
Haniel Paul finshing the overs with a fine spin spell leaving 63 as total to chase.

Horton Batting:
Joe and Finton set about the Overstone attack with power and confident shots causing Overstone to rethink their strategy, fielders were now placed on the boundary!
This did not dampen Hortons attack mind and all pairs contributed to big boundaries and fast sharp singles.
With 25 to get off the last pair Gurshaan and Haniel brought the team home with monster hitting and precision shots to keep the runs ticking over. Horton win by 25 runs.
A great team performance and some fantastic figures for the players to admire (Overstone putting figures on, watch this space) A big thank you to Kian for travelling some distance a late call up and Joe Maw for hanging on at the end to the finish.
