Carlton 3rd XI set the target, making 10/203 from 42.1 overs. Izan Shaikh top-scored for our opponents with 43. The visitors also got 43 from Nicholas Ross. Tremayne Ryder was the pick of the bowlers, taking four for 24 off eight overs. Thomas Lambert offered good support with two for 29.
In reply, the boys reached the target at 4/207 in 36.2 overs. A classy 77 not out off 90 balls from Samson Storey was the highlight. Solid support came from Ryder, who made 37. Jimmy Anderson also got among the runs with 34 off 58 balls.
With wickets in hand, the chase was impressively managed.
A great effort from the team.
