Cardiff Northern took on Maccabi for the second time in three games in the cup.
Northern faced Maccabi for the second time in a couple of weeks and this time would bat first. The batting wasn’t as fluid as perhaps it should have been but a good innings from Barrie Willacott opening the batting was supplemented by a quick fire 23 from Ashish Chatap who will be disappointed in the manner that he got out to when he must have been thinking a 50 was their for the taking. Dan Jones continued his good batting form with 13 before being caught and Adam Brewer made 8. The tail however was exposed and the lack of good batting skills at the end meant Northern got bogged down ending on 95 with Dan Perkins not out on six and Brett Clarke picking up a second consecutive duck, this one of the golden variety.
Maccabi started the chase with a new opening batsman and simply pit he was too good for the score Northern had posted. Content to put away the bad balls, hog the strike and keep his wicket intact the writing was on the wall. Perkins took his first wicket of the season getting the other opener LBW for 5 when the score was on 46. Ashish was expensive conceding 16 from 2 but it was he who finally took down the opener for 65 as he played on with the game all but over.
The very next over Clarke’s only ball was played away for two and Maccabi had won with 96-2 off 15.1 overs.
