After a two month delay to the season, Saturday 11th July saw the return of cricket to SAC with old rivals Thoiry the visitors. After Andrew Jackson won the toss, SAC chose to bat and Henry and Omar made a solid start taking SAC to 40 without loss. After a flurry of wickets, some solid contributions from Imran, Trevin and Yassin in the middle order managed to push SAC's score to 155 all out. Unfortunately, this was to prove too little on the day and Thoiry comfortably chased it down with a solid batting display that frustrated SAC's bowling attack, which ended up toiling in the hot, July sunshine. On the positive side, Shakeel managed to bag a few wickets which will give him confidence for next week's match against LFP Cricket Club. Despite the result, there was a great feeling all round that the season had finally got underway!
