CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS!


The Saturday Firsts were crowned champions of Division Two after defeating Wimbledon Village to seal the title.
Needing to beat the visitors to Morden Park on Saturday to secure the title, the division leaders started well with Rehan Mansor making 64 runs and I Ahmed 50.
Jorden McLaren supported with 22, while Prakash Ganatra and N Malik made 25 each.
Morden were all out for 216 runs and the bowlers had to keep it tight to ensure victory.
They did not disappoint as Rob Craig, 4 for 22, and I Ahmed, 3 for 26, ensured Village could only restrict themselves to 121 all out and hand victory and the title to Morden.
It was a consistant display of batting and bowling for Morden all season and the side ended the season with 12 wins and just two losses.
Captain Yogi Desai said winning the title was a great result for the club.
He said: “I am very grateful to all playing members from all four teams, Saturday and Sunday, for their help throughout the season.
“This really is a great result for the club and whilst the 1st XI will get plenty of praise and credit for their achievement this was accomplished with the help of players from all the other teams stepping in to help out when asked.
“My thanks and congratulations to all.”
