DEFEATS MAR MORDEN PROGRESS

Morden’s Saturday First and Second teams endured defeats in the past fortnight, but will be looking to turn their fortunes around this weekend.

The first team lost to Bec Old Boys last weekend on the back of the loss to St Lukes the previous weekend.

In a rain-affected match reduced to 26 overs, Bec were restricted to 166 runs in their alloted overs.

But in a closely fought match, Morden were left agonisingly short of the total, scoring 151 for five with Matthew Thevan on 77 and Jigar Jani on 42 not out.

The side has now slipped down the table having played 10, won three and lost seven with 107 points at an average of 10.7.

The side are away to Beddington on Saturday.

The Seconds’ have also been finding the going tough recently.

Last weekend, the side lost to Merton who scored 210 runs, but poor batting by Morden saw them slump to 84 all out.

The only bright spark was the bowling of Jamie Montebello who took four wickets for 40.

The side are at home to Sheen Park on Saturday.
