No icing on the cake for Pothas
GUERNSEY were unable to put the icing on their ICC World Cricket League Six cake yesterday.
Having achieved the main objective of gaining promotion to Division Five thanks to their semi-final win over Norway on Friday, they could not add the trophy to their successful season as they suffered a six-wicket defeat to Suriname at the Essex County Ground in Chelmsford.
However, national coach Nic Pothas was not too downbeat as he reflected on an excellent season for his young side.
'If in January when we started out you had told us that we would have a good T20 tournament in May, win the inter-insular and get promoted to Division Five, we would have bitten your hand off for that,' he said.
'We have played some very good cricket this year, there have been some very good individual performances across the board and there is no doubt we are getting better and better all the time.
'I am certainly very proud of this bunch of lads and I am very excited to see what they can do in future.'
