Tim Pullan4 May - 10:54

Coton bowlers overwhelm Foxton; Coton joint 1st in league

Brilliant all-round performance to start the season!
- Prabhdeep Singh, Captain 1st XI

Coton 1st XI vs Foxton Junior 2nd Division CCA
Coton batted first: 125 all out in 35 overs (Prabhdeep 50, Nick Sanders 21)
Foxton: 37 all out in 13 overs (Yash - 5 wickets, Syon 2 wickets, Akul - 2 wickets)
Coton win by 88 runs

On a sunny May afternoon which turned cold later on, Coton won a rollercoaster of a game, which included an impressive 21 from Coton resident Nick Sanders as part of an 81 opening stand with captain Prabhdeep Singh, and a brutal bowling attack supported by intensity in the fielding, including 2 crucial opening wickets taken by erstwhile Coton juniors star Syon Parashar. The win puts us joint first in the CCA junior 2 division - early days but a great start.
