Island Community beat Pacific by 6 wickets, but we played pretty well. Avec le 'eart, as they say in (allo allo) French. We were just out played, again. Mostly in the batting department. Again. This first division stuff is tough. Anyway there were a few moments to reflect upon. It was good to see Lucius get a decent knock. And Pete Henry's 16 or so off the 9th over which put us right back in the match (with 160 looking possible) was awesome. But then the Pacific bats failed to find ball often enough and the run rate in the final 5 or 6 overs was pretty slow. Pacific: 124 for 6 in 16 overs Peter HENRY 31 Lucius FAISAL 25 Shane REES 21 Sam DOWSETT 4-0-24-3 Dammika 4.0.22.3

Island Community: 126 for 1 in 14.1 overs Tanjeem Chowdhury 50 no(ret) Delrick Adikari 40 not out L Faisal 4-0-33-1
