Island shock Belgium at ICC Euro Champs

by isleofman.com 1st September 2009

The Island have pulled off a massive win in the ICC European Division Three Championships in Spain.

They caused a major shock with a seven wicket victory over Belgium, an ICC Associate which is a division higher than the Affiliate status of the Isle of Man.

The Belgians were dismissed for 110 in 27 overs with Max Stokoe taking 4 wickets for 20 runs and Nick Hawke returning 3 for 12.

The Manx batsmen then knocked off the runs in 34 overs for the loss of three wickets.

Opener Chris Hawke led the way, hitting 57 not out.

The Island have now won both their opening games, but play Israel tomorrow, another Associate country who have also won their two matches and are one of the tournament favourites.
