defendable target of 219.

never had any sniff of victory. Sujju bowled nagging line and length
and was unlucky just to get one wicket.

SCCC does Golf - again

Summary by Puneet G - Pictures by Shahab R to follow.

For the second year in a row, the SCCC contingent that was present were in great spirits, and this was before any spirits made it into their respective systems. After checking in and buying a ton of mulligans (because I need them) we trooped out to our carts where we waited for the shotgun start to our respective assigned holes. SCCC started on Hole # 5 with one of our 4 carts finding a rather creative route to it by traversing holes 2,3 and 4 on the way... lets just say we wanted a fuller experience before the first tee shot.

Santa Clara Golf and Tennis course on Tasman is a nice enough place to play golf and has relatively few hazards. The excellent weather and of course SCCC camaraderie was always going to make it a great day away from work. We tee-ed off approximately at 1pm.

Hole # 16 was sponsored by SCCC and SCCC 1 team got a par on this one, so I'm assuming that SCCC 2 foursome had a birdie.

SCCC 1 did pick up an Eagle on the Par 5 - 496 yards - Hole # 14 due to Harsha's heroics of getting us out of the rough on our tee shots and hitting a brilliant recovery shot onto the green, just a few feet from the hole.

The tournament organizer Jeff Driggs was obviously delighted to have us on the course and since we were seemingly the only non- City government entity there, we got some special attention as the Cricket Club guys who also play golf. Overall it was a friendly atmosphere though I did try to trash talk Fareed and then got it back on last tee shot when I accidentally tapped the ball off the tee with my practice swing ;)

There was a decent buffet afterwards.. and for those who stayed and participated, a raffle too.

I'm looking forward to doing this again next year.

SCCC were represented by members Fareed, Sunil, Shahab, Harsha and Puneet and guests Ravi and Colin participated in to make it a 4some and a 3some. We hope we'll have 3 foursomes next year.

II. Arjun played a master class innings. Shiva played a brilliant
innings with full control to support him. SCCC-II were 47 in 17 overs.
Chanceless innings by Arjun and Shiva for a 200 run partnership was
key and it was treat to watch. Shiva Missed another ton timing a ball
too well where imran nana took a very well judged catch. Carmo played
a blinder for his 36 where he hit the ball cleanly to the longest part
of the boundaries at santa clara ground. Apurva Chacha (Magic chacha)
took a blinder at short mid wicket to get carmo out. Mukund bowled 3
maidens and picked up 3 wickets. Saad cleaned up the top order and was
literally unplayable using his variations.

Umpiring by Jaggy and Ganesh Sanap was of very high standards.

Bees lost to UCCC-I by 67 runs- Match Report

A Division: Union City I @ Santa Clara II
Date: 5/22/2010
Played at: W.A Wilson
Umpires: Vaibhav and Avtaar (Stanford-A-I)
Toss: won by Union City and elected to Bat

defeated

Santa Clara CC-II 98 all out in 25.4 overs (Sunil C. 33, Jaggi
4-1-5-4, Ranvir/Sheryar/ Happy 2 wkts each)

Man of the Match : Jaggi

Union City won the toss and had no hesitation in choosing to bat on a
beautiful day and lovely Santa Clara ground. Santa Clara started
really well picking up both Jigar and Ajay early with just 12 on the
board after 6 very tight overs. Santa Clara continued with their tight
bowling and made runs very difficult to come by for UCCC. However,
Ranvir and Raiyan stiched together a 93 runs partnership to lay the
foundation down. Ranveer scored an excellent 47 as Raiyan provided
support at the other end with 38. However, it was young Krish that
provided the breakthrough picking up both Ranveer and Raiyan in quick
succession at the 32nd over with 112 on board. Suddenly the UCCC
innings came apart with Kitty, Happy and Kamal also getting out soon
thereafter as Krish kept picking up wickets. However, a very good 22
from Bobby and 21 from Jaggi in a 42 run crucial partnership provided
UCCC with a moderate total as UCCC bundled out for 164 in 45 overs.
Krish bowled brilliantly to pick up 6 for 38 to wreck the UCCC innings
completely. Risheet also bowled really well to pick up 2 for 22 in his
8 overs. SC-2 bowling was tight and miserly as ever.

Santa Clara started well with Sunil attacking from the word go but
Ranveer picked up two quick wickets of Krishna and Hirsh to get UCCC
back into the game. In came Krish at 4 and looked really good. A
bowling change brought Happy into the attack as he cleaned up Krish
immediately to a ball that swung a little. Suddenly UCCC had a sniff
at defending the small total. As Shehriyar picked up Sunil SC-2 was
down 4 for 61. Jigar held on to an excellent catch to dismiss the
dangerous Arjun off Jaggi. Jaggi cleaned up the remaining tail to pick
up 4 for 5 runs off 5 overs and 1 maiden. In the end it was an
excellent bowling performance from UCCC bowling lineup and finally
stepped up when it mattered today. The potential for this bowling
lineup is immense and hope UCCC carry on in the same vein for the rest
of the season.

Umpiring at it's best and played a crucial role in this game adding
more trouble to SCCC-II's current situation.

SCCC-Bees will bounce back soon from this after a good long weekend.
