Match notes

(1) More wickets for Alvandré
Alvandré Thompson took four wickets in a match for third time this season:
   4-15  Arcadians v GCC (Mariakerke) - 6 May 2007
   5-15  Arcadians v Heerlen (Mariakerke) - 17 June 2007
   4-16  Arcadians v Mechelen (Hombeek) - 30 June 2007


(2) All out for 60
The friendly matches against a friendly club like Mechelen are often an opportunity
to give inexperienced players a change to gain match experience. So it is no surprise
that this game produces a second lowest team total in the Arcadians' history. The
record lowest score is still 53 ... also on a visit to Hombeek (two years ago).

Lowest team total, to loose:
       53 all out – Arcadians v Mechelen (Hombeek) 2005
       60 all out – Arcadians v Mechelen (Hombeek) 2007
