Homerton won the toss and chose to bat first on a pitch ideal for batting
due to a very fast outfield.
The opening pair proved difficult to breakthrough with some fine batting,
and it wasn't until Hutch got his well deserved 50 that a few wickets
started to fall.
Rizwan ensured that Homerton finished with a flourish, but it was a solid
bowling performance from the Marrocas to restrict Homerton to 133 on such a
quick pitch.
However, the Morrocas innings got off to an awful start with 2 wickets
falling in the 2nd over.
With the run rate stifled and wickets continuing to tumble it was looking
increasingly likely that Homerton would run away with it.
Hugo Boatright, the number 6 batsmen had other ideas, producing a
devastating innings, hitting 12 fours and single handedly turning the match
on its head.
He was well supported by Tom Harper, who took up the reigns once Hugo got
his 50.
It was a nervous ending as Homerton hit back with 2 wickets, meaning they
only needed one more to win.
Fortunately for the Morrocas they managed to scrape over the line for a
great victory, keeping their title hopes on track.
