With two fixtures remaining of the 2009 season, the Mandarins have made a late bid for a respectable scorebook by posting a convincing win and a close draw against RCDS and Reading respectively.

The RCDS game was played under the threat of rain but, thankfully, a full game was possible which saw the Mandarins seal a 9 wicket win after dismissing our hosts for 98.

The Reading game was a much closer affair with all results possible. In the end, Reading were just able to defend their total of 205 as the Mandarins finished on 199 for 8.
