Cambourne under 15 cruised to a 98 run victory on Monday evening against Longstanton Grasshoppers under 15. It has to be said Longstanton done well to keep the match on with showers preceding the match all day. Cambourne started the match precariously with three wickets being lost before they could get to 30 runs. The effervescent skipper-Ollie Vale-again led the way, and held the batting together with 45. Nik Patel came in at number 5 and immediately made an impact, and within no time he was on his way to a half century-he finished with 59. The last few overs saw a partnership of 42 runs between George Haworth and Ali Sales, scoring 27 and 16 respectively, and completed the Cambourne score at a total of 168. Longstanton could only muster a score of 70 all out, with Kuda Zhandrie taking 2 wickets for 6 runs.
