Cricket Web Red won by 34 runs
Man of the match: Ian Markus
Daily Blast Comment: Back-to-back wins for the struggling CW Red. Another impressive win batting first and some more impressive captaincy from Ian Markus. The spin ploy didn't quite work out today as it did in the last game, but Markus got good work from his seamers on this occasion after the batsmen recovered from a slow start to post a big total. Much credit must be given to Samuel Vimes for some amazing acceleration at the end of the innings alongside Zaid Ghansar.

CRICKET WEB BLUE 328/5 50.0 overs
CRICKET WEB GREEN 219 50.0 overs
Cricket Web Blue won by 109 runs
Man of the match: StUEy
Daily Blast Comment: Dominance by the Blues in victory. StUEy, Umpire, Broncoman, Toogood, Peter Young - all contributed swiftly to a massive total. Then, perhaps intimidated by the target, the Greens lost 3 wickets in the first 10 and never really recovered, eventually appearing to have resigned to defeat in frustration.
