Mountsorrel Castle 2nd XI played an enthralling game against Loughborough Carillion in difficult conditions, to come out the winners by 70 runs. Batting first on a damp pitch, Mountsorrel were at one stage 64-6 and the game looked over. Seb Maley (67) and Hardeep Singh (31) however had other ideas and together crafted a partnership of 96 with Maley finally finding some late season form on a tricky pitch. With some huge sixes at the end from Big Jay Navsaria (20), the total of 187 looked much more useful than it had an hour before. Then, in a mirror image of the Mountsorrel innings, the Carillion top order were blown away by Navsarias opening spell of 6-46, and at 50-8, once again the game looked over. However there was still some lusty hitting to come at the bottom of the order by C Flitten (46*) & D Patel (20) but by then the result (really) was inevitable and Flitten was left stranded in sight of his half century when the last wicket fell. That such an exciting game was crafted in the conditions available is a credit to both sides.

01/08/2010 [GB] Mountsorrel lost to Barrow today in the Everards Junior Cup Final at Syston Town. Barrow batted first and compiled 198 all out, Mountsorrels Sam Skeete taking 3-20. The target proved too much for Mountsorrel who lost wickets at regular intervals, with the only significant partnership being between Shabaz Hassan (43) and Sukha Singh (17). Shabaz continued to bat with the tail and briefly threatened to take Mountsorrel from 118-8 to an unlikely victory but in the end it proved too much.
