On Sunday 2 August Thoiry visited SAC for the second in the “best of three” John Hardy match series. After losing the first game, revenge was on the cards for Standard’s players and they were the first to bat after being put in by the visitors. Through some excellent bowling, Thoiry managed to restrict the home team to 164 runs. In return, Thoiry made light work of the opening bowling attack and chased down the total with relative ease meaning that they retained the John Hardy Shield. Needless to say, both teams enjoyed themselves and the celebrations continued in the bar afterwards. Although a dead rubber, the third instalment of the series will take place in September with Standard looking to regain some pride.
Last Saturday 25 July saw Chantilly visit the SAC. The SAC elected to bat first and finished with 266, with Imram the top scoer on 71. Chantilly's reply started badly withthe first 3 wickets falling for 20 runs. However Chantilly's Chetan nearly made his maiden century but was trapped LBW on 99! After that, the bowlers polished off the rest leaving SAC with a comfortable victory by 60 runs. (Read on for more detail.)
