Fathers canter to win in grading match

Calcutta Express - Thursday 13 September 2007

The Fathers rode the wave of last seasons super-hot form with an emphatic 66 run victory over the 'Albert Einstein Institute'.

Determined to crack A-grade this season the Fathers were never troubled and used the match as an excuse to hit out at the hapless AEI bowling attack.

Highlights included Nads being stumped no less than THREE times in one over and Norro snaring an amazing 7 wickets for -19!
