BB V Standard Athletic Club Paris

Band of Brothers CC 312 for 4 off 40 Dec

SAC 168 all out 43 overs

Band of Brother win by 144 runs

The BB welcomed The SAC back to Torry Hill for the second fixture of the Parisian’s 2023 tour of Kent.

Brother Boucher won the toss and elected to bat first on a beautifully prepared wicket. The BB set about scoring quickly amassing a total of 312 for 4 before declaring. Most of the top order filled their boots with Brother Boucher 115, Brother Bruce 76 and Brother Preece 81, doing most of the damage.

In reply the SAC started well reaching 74 for no wicket, before D Johnston (guest) got the break through. Wickets were hard to come by, but some persistent, niggling lines from Brother Meredith and brothers Jack and Finn Kirkland did the job as the SAC’s middle order eventually began to breakdown.

In the end it was D Johnston who came back on from the pavillion end to finish the job, bowling the SAC out for 144.

Thank you to the tourists for being very fine guests and we’ll see you next year.
