OD Table
The OD table looks fairly good for United who can count themselves unlucky to be down in 3rd after 2 losses which were just that, unlucky. They are the only team to have beaten top team Painkillers this season and have been in great form generally. They will certainly be challenging for the V25 Championship this season.
PCCL: Spinners United CC vs. The Monkeys!!! at Spin Arena
Preview
Spinners United enter the Planetcricket Champions League against The Monkeys in Group 4 of the competition. With the PC Champions, Everton, also in the group, winning all other games is crucial and United will have high spirits after their last PC game ended with a convincing win over The Falcons.
This match is currently doubtful due to administration problems at The Monkeys which could lead to forfeiture of this match, news will be brought to you if this is the case.
If the match is played, expect a reduced line-up from United who believe they can win with a second team.
Spinners United XI: Marsden, Chinthaka, Bradshaw, Challinor, Chuguel, Machemko, Harding, Pead, Nedd, Charl, Levy

FC: Heman 5000 vs. Spinners United CC
The last time the sides met it was a close, low scoring game which United won thanks to a total collapse of the Heman frail batting line-up. Heman have improved their batting since then and should now be far more of a threat. United will field a full team
SUCC XI: Eagles*, Chinthaka, Mccormick, Challinor, Bradshaw, Riaan, Machemko, Pead+, Nedd, Slaytor, Cronin
Match
Heman won the toss and put United into bat which showed to be a great decision as early wickets fell.
The openers struggled to contend against the new ball and both ended up falling in the 20s, Eagles on 26 and Chinthaka on 23.
Mccormick came in and played himself in well as players fell all around him. Opening bowler Grogan continued to bowl well removing Challinor for 15 and then in-form Bradshaw for 11. United were at this point at 109/4.
Hamed came in to take Riaan for 24 as Mccormick got to his 50. Machemko was next to go for 27 and it was a struggle now.
Mccormick reached a vital 100 to drag the team to a decent score and was the only impressive batsman.
The last 4 batsmen added just 2 between them, Pead, Nedd and Slaytor all falling for ducks and Cronin adding 2 to end the innings on 270. Mccormick finished on 135*. Vedanayagam, Grogan and Danvers all took 3 wickets.
The Heman innings was also one of one man: Grogan. As well as destroying the Spinners batting, he opened his own line-up to get off to a great start. The openers managed to put on 192 runs together, both Grogan and Carlisle reaching 50s, before Carlisle fell for 67.
The wickets then fell like in the Spinners Innings, Kaye for 23, Clifford for 0 and Tembo for 44. But through all that Grogan kept going to reach a massive double hundered. He was the next to go, removed by the impressive Slaytor for 243, his 3rd wicket at 402/5 at this stage.
The rest fell away, 15 between the bottom 6 batsmen. Slaytor was the only impressive bowler with 6-40. Machemko and Cronin were especially expensive as Heman got 422 and had a lead of 152.
Spinners needed to bat long or for a hell of a lot and did better. Chinthaka was dissapointing again, going for only 5 runs. Mccormick and Eagles then put on a partnership of 100 with Eagles reaching his 50, before Mccormick was bowled for 40.
Challinor couldnt add much, going for 7, but Bradshaw joined Eagles for another partnership. Eagles reached 100 and Bradshaw 50 before Bradshaw was out for 54. Riaan then disappointed with just 8.
Eagles then finally was out for 155, caught on the fence. This key wicket then signalled the collapse to end the innings on 302. Heman needing 150 to win.
And they did it without losing a wicket, another 100 from Grogan and 45 from Carlisle without any of the bowlers even threatening.
A disappointing performance from the Spinners which drops them down to 3rd in the FC table, having been 1st 2 games ago.

That sucks that you were first a couple of weeks ago and now you are 3rd. Shows how close your FC league really is. You batted alright in the second innings though after you couldn't really get going in your first and they had scored 422 it was always going to be hard for you to win.

OD: Ruff_Ryders919 vs. Spinners United @ Ruff_Ryders919 CG
The Ryders have been a low lying team in the league, always doing better than the bottom teams but never challenging the teams above. Spinners United come into this game resting a couple of players, although Marsden does return, which should be an interesting prospect. They will be looking for a good win after their loss in FC yesterday.
SUCC XI: Marsden*, Chinthaka, Chuguel, Challinor, Bradshaw, Riaan, Machemko, Pead+, Nedd, Slaytor, Levy
Changes from regular XI: Eagles out, Marsden in. Mccormick out, Chuguel in. Cronin out, Levy in.
Match Report
Spinners United elected to bat on a dusty pitch with revenge for their FC loss on their mind. Their intentions were signalled early, as Marsden and Chinthaka cam out all guns blazing. The opening bowlers, Rice and Mcaliskey, were smashed to all parts of the ground thanks to some breathtaking batting.
Both batsmen reached 50s and then 100s as the score continued to increase. Sterling took a lot of the flak, whilst Benjamin was the only bowler who seemed to peg down the batsmen.
Chinthaka did fall for 111 runs off 128 balls, including 4 fours and 4 sixes. He was bowled by Benjamin, ending the 263 run opening partnership.
Chuguel disappointed at 3, being the second victim of Benjamin for only 14, bringing Challinor in for the last few overs at 283/2.
Marsden continued to blaze a trail alongside Challinor and managed to bring United up to an impressive 337/2 off their 50 overs. Challinor added 22, but the star was Marsden who scored a new personal high score of 184* off only 145 balls with 17 fours and 2 sixes. An exceptional batting performance.
A deflated Ryders team came out to bat needing nothing short of a miracle to win the match and the openers provided some pleasure. Bignot and Dyke both scored at a decent rate for a 77 run partnership before Machemko came in to take the wicket of Dyke for 36.
Bignot continued to bat well with Wilson until he was eventually out for 62, having been caught off Nedd at Cover. Wilson took over from Bignot and started to wrack up the runs.
Unfortunately men fell around him, Slaytor took Mapes for 17 and Nedd took Benjamin for 15.
But Bennett and Wilson came together to put on 102 runs together in a great partnership which made the Ryders feel that there was a possibility of victory.
Wilson got out to Riaan though for 95 and from then on it was downhill for Ryders. For United it was a great success though, as Riaan took a hattrick to remove Wilson and then Sterling and Mcalisky in consecutive balls and all by LBW.
Riaan wasn't finished though, he came back and took another hattrick to finish the innings. Rice, Benjamin and Buckle the 3 victims after a great performance from Riaan, finishing with figures of 6/63 as well as his 2 hattricks.
Out of the other bowlers, Nedd tooke a good 2/59, Machemko got 1/64, Slaytor was economical with 1/33 and Levy disappointed with 0/70.
Overall a good performance for United and an important win.
Final Scoreboard
Spinners United 337/2
Marsden 184*
Chinthaka 111
Benjamin 2/42
Buckle 0/62
Ruff_Ryders919 292 (49.3 overs)
Wilson 95
Bignot 62
Riaan 6/63
Nedd 2/59
Man of the Match: Tim Riaan (6/63 including 2 hattricks)

OD League Standings (V.25)
The big result of the week was Largs defeating Painkillers in a top 2 clash which brings Largs, Painkillers and Spinners all into the fram for first place, separated only on NRR. Spinners United and PainKillers still have to meet at the Spin Arena in what could become a league decider on the last day of the season. Starvin Marvins failed to open the gap on Ruff Ryders after a shock loss to LMCHC, both teams could still find themselves in the relegation play-offs. That result does not help MJB who, having been a top team for many seasons, now are battling to avoid automatic relegation. They got just their 2nd win of the season over South Shore, who are virtually guarenteed relegation now with just 4 games left.
FC League Standings (V.45)
Spinners United's loss to Heman was a key result, allowing Unreal Madrid to open up the gap at the top of the table, although it is still close. Madrid beat the Sods by 864 runs this week.
Glamorgan Dragons failed to give themselves some breathing space from relegation after drawing with Wormley CCC. BHA and Shipley shared an almost meaningless draw as they are both likely to face relegation. The key match is in 2 weeks, Unreal Madrid at home to Spinners United. The 27 point gap between the 2 teams could be geatly reduced by a strong United performance and they will fight it out.

A nice win for your boys in the shorter form of the game. Superb knock by Marsden, Chinthaka also played well. Strange how Riaan took two hattricks and got 6 wickets, he only got wickets in hattricks.
