Alcaraz beet Djokovic in the tennis at Wimbledon, Spain ended England's hopes and dreams in the European Football Championships, and Donald Trump was shot at during a political rally in the USA. But not much happened of note at Broadhalfpenny Down.
Brigands batted first and, despite a small boundary, couldn't hit it off the square. Brigands are averaging over 5 runs per over this season, and often accelerate at the 20-over mark.
Against a strong Gulls attack Brigands crawled to 60 off 20 overs and then after drinks the runs dried up. It left the Captain, Ewan Lovett-Turner, the awkward task of declaring with a below-par score of 140-7 with wickets in hand.
The Old Boys of St Andrews University made light work of the chase, swinging the bat and hitting the first two balls of the innings for a six and a four.
The only highlights were superb fast bowling from Lee Gray and a direct hit run out from Steve Blackburn who watched the batter ground his bat then let go of the handle as the bails were dislodged.
Brigands 140-7 declared lost to Old Seagullians 141-3 by 7 wickets.
