Oceans lose in a thriller

Oceans CC lost there first game of the season against Sparta last night in a fine summers day at Bullocksteads.The match was billed as a 'top of the table'clash with the winner taking all, and it clearly did not disappoint.Oceans won the toss and elected to bat posting 103/9 (16 overs).At one stage, they were on 34/5 with only 6 overs gone, but as usual Ratty played a sensible innings under pressure to help get his team to a respectable position.In reply, Sparta were losing wickets reguraly but somehow managed to score vital bounadaries in key stages.Poor fielding was also to blame as runs were given really cheaply and quite easily. Sparta won the game with three balls remaining and finished on 104/8 (15.4overs).
