Haverford Cricket secured its fourth victory of the season against the Alumni, yet the mood was such that the outcome seemed secondary to the sheer enjoyment of the sport.
The Fords went across Lancaster Ave to Merion Cricket Club to pick up a Saturday win before taking the first loss of the season on Sunday back at Cope Field.
While The Fords were troubled by a new and unfamiliar pitch, Haverford’s defensive prowess would prove too much for the hosts to overcome, with Haverford defending a total of 127.
With a team chock full of experienced veterans and exciting new first years, Haverford started their season with a thumping victory, completing a thrilling run chase in the last over.
