    S.E. Tournament - Report from Captain of CFCA Giants Monday, 15th June 2009
    The CFCA contingent that went to Atlanta for the South East tournament was, in my opinion, very successful, not only on the field but also off the field, where we conducted ourselves in a manner that would make the entire Central Florida community proud.

    My general impression of the tournament arrangements was average, and the umpiring was also average. However, the play on the field was of a very high calibre.

    The CFCA Giants won 2 games and lost 1, which was our first game to the eventual champions GSCL who went 3 and 0. In the loss to GSCL we fought hard. However, I thought we were a little van-logged from all the travelling, and so we did not play our best game. Two of our players played very well; Sohil Merchant made 40 and Ed Lewis, our player/coach, made 39. We were all out for 167 runs.

    In the second game on Saturday we played fantastic cricket against AACG, scoring a remarkable 306 runs, the highest inning of the tournament. After a great start from our openers, Sohil Merchant and Asif Chan, we batted superbly. Oneil Hylton steadied the middle with a well played 42, and the man of the day was Robert (Love One) Cresser who played one of the best innings I have seen in recent memory, a sparkling 88 that won us the match. Our bowlers bowled did well to restrict the opposition to 272.

    The final game (against Mid Atlantic) saw us win with a clinical performance. We bowled great, with special mention to Moazzam Imitiaz who bowled superbly throughout the tournament but especially on Sunday, when he took 3 wickets and bowled a tight line, as we restricted the opposition to 166 all out. Tim Roy Allen and Maksood Indawala also bowled very well. In our run chase we stumbled a little bit to 80 for 5. However an unbroken 87 run partnership between Moazzam Imitiaz (32 not out) and Chris Chung (43 not out) saw the Giants home.

    Two of our players got Man of the Match awards - Robert Cresser on Saturday and Moazzam Imitiaz on Sunday. Our final position in the tournament was third place, a great achievement after not having played last year.

    I wish to thank the players, coaches, management and supporters for their support and encouragement. The experience and exposure gained by our youngsters are sure to prove invaluable in the future.
