Old Eastbournians 140.\u00a0 Oundle Rovers 145-8.<\/p>\n
Won by two wickets.<\/p>\n
The Rovers will play Old Millfieldians (away) on Sunday 12 July in The Cricketer Cup quarter final.<\/p>\n
The Old Eastbournians were defeated on Sunday in spite of a dramatic Rovers batting collapse with the victory line in sight. James Esler\u2019s highly aggressive 65 and Will Park\u2019s 25 looked to have won the game at 99 for 1.<\/p>\n
10 overs and seven wickets later veteran Jules Mcalpine and debutant Freddie Bowser scrambled the Rovers over the line by two wickets.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day the Rovers had bowled and fielded superbly. Mcalpine picked\u00a0 up 3 wickets, including one to the second ball of the game, Charlie Fernandes and Will Park 2 each and Jack Howard and Tommy Simeons 1 each. Captain Fernandes also removed Eastbourne\u2019s other opening bat with a superb direct hit runout. The Rovers were both relieved and delighted to progress to Millfield.<\/p>\n
