BCC 1 have won the Bundesliga Ost competition for the second time in the club's history, following a commanding win over Dresden CC in their final match of the season on Saturday.
Reuben Davies' team scored 289 for 7 in 50 overs batting first. Top performances came from Amer Rafiq (49) und Luke Buchanan (34) at the start of the innings - thereafter Aaron Mato (60), Reuben Davies (45) and Nick Baker-Monteys (38) all made important contributions. In reply Dresden made just 78 - the wickets were well shared amongst the bowlers. The victory was characteristic of the team's strong performances throughout the season: BCC 1 lost only one game this season, narrowly beaten by DSSC.
It was a successful weekend for the club, with BCC 2 also winning against Viktoria 89 on Sunday at Körnerplatz. Stand out batsman was Nisarg Paja who scored a crucial half century, in the team's fourth victory of the season.
BCC 1 will now progress on to the Vereinsmeisterschaft, playing the winners from the NRW region on August 29 and the winners from NDCV on September 6. We wish Reuben and his team all the best in their campaign to become the best club team in Germany. |
