Too easy for Rosaneri

A Rosaneri invitational XI destroyed the Portsmouth University Old Boys by 7 wickets.

In truth the margin of victory could have been significantly greater if the pinks had wished it to be so. The banter was great throughout, and the Robsie theme tune debacle will live in the memory for many years to come.

Portsmouth 117 for 6 off 20 overs
Na.Shewring 2-8, Leigh 2-8, Sparrey 1-9)

Rosaneri 142 for 3 off 20 overs
(Leigh 30*, Sparrey 30*, McHugh 29, Alfieri 25)

Portsmouth 109 for 9 off 20 overs
(Rose 3-10, Ni.Shewring 2-28, Na.Shewring 1-9)

Rosaneri 85 for 3 off 13.4 overs
(Rose 28, Downing 24*, McHugh 13*)

Rosaneri win by 7 wickets
