Notes

(1) Arcadians suffered the heaviest defeat in its history - the previous record
dates to the home game against the same opponents earlier this year. This 
becomes an 'Optimists v Pessimists' fixture ...

Lost by 200 runs: Optimists (318/7) beat Arcadians (118) 2006 (Walferdange)
Lost by  94 runs: Optimists (219) beat Arcadians (125) 2006 (Mariakerke)


(2) Going into the game, Arcadians needed 14 points to book its place in the 
Division 2 in 2007. The result only delivered 11 points:
    - one point per wicket taken = 7 points
    - 2 points per slice of 25 runs, from 75 runs = 4 points
   ... one extra wicket + 7 extra runs would have resulted in 15 points.

Having played all its league games (won 5, lost 7), Arcadians now depends on
the results of other teams to decide on its future.
