St Francis start their Cup campaign with impressive victory

Day Four Report

The Gentlemen's Section of the 2018 Chiang Mai Sixes was completed on the fourth day's play as Darjeeling and Armadillos finished as the two highest ranked teams to join Clifton Hill Tom Cats, Lanna, Perth Postels and Roosters in the Bowl. The remaining 18 teams were divided into three competitions depending on their results and will compete (in descending order) for the Vase, Plate and Spoon. The best action of the day came in the afternoon as the first matches in the Cup and the Shield were played. In the top level competition, NCL Dynamites held off a competitive performance from UN Irish Pub to win by ten runs, but it was St Francis de Sales who really caught the eye as they chased down a demanding target of 86 against Kashmir Thunder. The two Shield matches were also high class encounters as Got the Runs beat Yorkshire Puddings as Mitchell Ley scored 33* from 10 balls to see them home and Clifton Hill Tom Cats defeated Margate after restricting them to 51 for 5. The day's play was finished off by a pair of Ladies Cup matches and the Varee Thai Angels and Central Spirit will now meet in Saturday's final.
