Albert Park threw away two golden opportunities to win their opening CSL Reserve League game of the season against St Ninians at Marress.

St Ninians batted first and were reduced to 88-8 with Shahid Hanif and Hashim Ali both taking 4 wickets. But the last two St Ninians wickets were allowed to put on nearly 100, Phil Stafford making 56no. They were eventually all out for 180.

In reply Albert Park appeared to be cruising at 100 for no loss and then 140-1, openers Chris Smith and Hashim Ali making 56 and 37 respectively. Shahid Hanif came in at number 3 and added 22.

But the fall of the 2nd wicket started a terrible collapse. Nine wickets fell for just 29 runs as Albert Park were all out for 169, losing by 11 runs.
