uThungulu take a tumble
uThungulu will take on Chatsworth Sporting on Sunday at DHS Old Boys.
POOR bowling and controversial umpiring resulted in a 28 run loss for RH Construction uThungulu in their Castle Premier League cricket match against Delta at Tills Crescent on Sunday.
Delta padded up first and headed out to the middle.
With all the bowlers failing to place the ball in the right areas, Delta reached 227/7 in their allotted 50 overs.
Stephan Joubert 2/50, Gary Park 2/63 and Dale van der Merwe 1/53 got hit to all areas of the park by the opposition batsmen.
During their turn at the crease, uThungulu just never got going, with the score board reading 4/1, 21/2 and 41/3.
Failing to build reliable partnerships cost the team in the end.
Simon Savides top scored with a well played 57, with further contributions coming from Jason Redinger (28), Neill Jordan (25) and captain Eugene Zwart (24).
uThungulu will take on Chatsworth Sporting on Sunday at DHS Old Boys in their next fixture.
The team will hit the nets hard this week to try iron out the kinks.
