The March 1st XI came crashing down to earth with a bang after four consecutive wins in Whitings League Division 1, when they lost on Saturday by a massive 146-run margin to second-placed Sawston.

The home side, out to avenge a one wicket defeat at The Avenue five weeks ago, started all guns blazing - smashing 80 runs from the first 10 overs. That was the foundation for an impressive 297-8 total.

Saranga Rajaguru and Sam Clarke each picked up a couple of wickets, with the other four bowlers taking a single wicket apiece.

March were soon 56-3 before ‘man of the moment’ Brandon Phillips came to the crease. He followed up last week’s 93 against Eaton Socon with another good knock of 59 not out in a disappointing reply of 151 all out.

Back-up runs came from the other two experienced batters: Shardul Brahmbhatt (24) and Rajaguru (23), who along with Phillips were the only batsmen to make double figures.

Sawston 297-8, 50 overs (Sam Clarke 2-42, Saranga Rajaguru 2-45), March 1st XI 151 all out, 32.3 overs (Brandon Phillips 59no, Shardul Brahmbhatt 24, Saranga Rajaguru 23).
