Englishman Dan Mousley shines for BRC

BRC’s overseas cricketer Dan Mousley

Dan Mousley, BRC’s overseas player, scored his maiden hundred in any form of club cricket, and the second of the ongoing tournament, to guide his club to a 134-run win over Nugegoda SWC in a Major Limited Overs match played at the BRC grounds yesterday.

The 20-year-old all-rounder from English county Warwickshire opened the batting and struck five sixes and eight fours in a delightful display of hitting to score 105 off 94 balls in BRC’s total of 232, in a game reduced to 34 overs because of a late start. Nugegoda were dismissed for 98 largely thanks to the leg-spin of Dushan Hemantha who took four wickets for 34.

There were also wins for Police SC and Air Force SC, while the weather played a hand in three other matches ending in a No Result and five being abandoned without a ball bowled due to bad weather – Sebastianites v Bloomfield, CCC v Kalutara TC, NCC v Army SC, SSC v Ace Capital CC, Lankan CC v Kurunegala YCC.
