2007 season - 1) Cincinnati v West XI at Kingston

Cincinnati got off to a far more successful start to this season than last. It initially looked as though West XI would set us a target of over 200, but some tight bowling from Jim, the ex-Chairman, the new Chairman and Ed brought us back into the game.

The final total of 114 was never going to challenge our powerful batting line-up, particularly after our new opening partnership had taken us to 86 before the fall of the first wicket. After that, Young Tom showed us the full range of his shots - often to a single delivery from the loopy leggy - and the vice-captain looked in promising form until the skipper committed an act of sabotage.

Result: Win
Scores: West XI 114-10, Cincinnati 115-4
Season so far: P 1, W 1, L 0
