STILL WITHOUT A LEAGUE WIN AS LJUBLJANA LOSE ANOTHER TO SALZBURG Again we fell a little short of our target against Salzburg at Velden on the weekend. Salzburg 235 beat Ljubljana 176 for 7 .

EVEN NARROWER LOSS TO GRAZ 10 runs short in our first match against Graz at Valburga.
Despite a solid 63 from Tom Furness, Ljubljana couldn't quite score enough to beat Graz.
Friday June 6th 2008 NARROW LOSS TO SALZBURG On a wet and miserable day Ljubljana narrowly failed to beat Salzburg as we lost by only 3 wickets. Inspired bowling by captain Mark Oman (4 for 29) added to his 52 not out but still a loss. scorecard
FIRST SOUTHERN LEAGUE MATCH VS GRAZ CANCELLED Due to a particularly wet week and an ominous forecast for the next few days our first league match has been cancelled. Although Ljubljana were still keen to play, Velden's groundsman decided that the match would not be able to go ahead. Ljubljana and Graz are both awarded 6 points. We are all naturally very disappointed, but hopefully we can get a good result against Salzburg next week instead.
