06 Dec 2016

St Albans Cricket Club are celebrating winning the Division 1 title of the annual Choice Cricket Indoor League for the fourth time in the last five years.

 With a convincing win over Redbourn CC last night (Monday) at The Choice Cricket Centre in Redbourn, St Albans CC wrapped up a fine run of results to regain the title once again. The club won the competition in 2012, 2013 and 2014 before narrowly missing out last year.

 Captained by Adam Hounslow a St Albans team of Syed Kibria, Dan Rosson, Jacob Winfield, Max Capaldi and Ben Nichol restricted Redbourn to a score of 118 runs with Dan Rosson the pick of the bowlers and Adam Hounslow taking the final catch in the 11th over.

 St Albans chased down the total, Syed Kibria and Jacob Winfield impressing with the bat as they closed out the match with 3 wickets and an over to spare.

 This result caps a fine year for the club, which saw its 1XI side promoted in the summer.

 Adam Hounslow said, “It has been another fine season for St Albans CC. We had a great summer with our 1XI getting promoted and this trophy caps a great year for the club. There have been some excellent individual and team performances throughout our indoor campaign and we look forward to taking this great form into 2017.”
