Royal Engineers 227 - 5 off 40 overs
BB 228 - 4 off 35 overs
Back-to-back wins for the BB against the Royal Engineers!
Having won the toss and elected to field first, you could have forgiven Brother Marriott for being slightly worried as the Engineers raced to 156-1. However, the BB knew that an excellent Marden wicket and rapid outfield meant we could play Bazball and chase anything, we just had to keep things tight towards the back end of the innings. Step forward Brothers Regan (8 overs, 2 for 29) and Norwood-Hill (6 overs 1 for 37) who bowled excellently under pressure to restrict our opposition to 227 from their 40 overs.
Charlie Middleton (21) and Nathan Roberts built a solid platform with the bat, Brother Roberts launching a chanceless 114 from just 84 balls, ably supported by Brother Nico Bryan's maiden BB half-century (58* from 41 balls) and an elegant 19-ball duck from Brother Pask.
An excellent day for the BB at Marden and we look forward to returning again next year. Special mention to Guests Matt Butcher and Chandu Wickramarachchi who were cracking additions to our team.
