22 yards has reached the finals of the FMS-BOD tournament and will be playing their familiar arch rivals Vikings on Nov 8th at William Wirt starting at noon. UMBC Cricket club has not reached the finals of any tournament this year and are very eager and excited to win their first title of this season.

After the fiasco at semi finals of Round Robin which ended with uncontrollable circumstances, UMBC was down, disappointed and distracted by lot of off-field controversy. They tried to regroup and play the best they could in the following T20 tournament, but unfortunately UMBC didnt qualify in the final two as off field activities had plagued them badly.

UMBC team has recuperated well and has convincingly won their games in the FMS-BOD tournament so far with just one loss against DC United in their last game of the qualifying round.UMBC won against Damascus chasing 95 rather comfortably in 18 overs to get their first win of the BOD tournament. The game against Crescent followed and people like Anand and Sadiq stepped up their games to get convincing wins for UMBC taking them into the quarter finals to play against UCC. Quarter finals saw some fine bowling display from the UMBC captain Sumeet and Austin coupled with sensible batting from Raghav to get the compelling win against UCC.

UMBC played DC United in the semi-finals and won a thriller which saw UMBC chase down 140 with one ball to spare and by 7 wickets to storm into the finals. Austin again was the pick of the bowlers whereas Sumeet and Anand shined with the bat sharing a 100+ partnership.

UMBC's final frontier will be against Vikings on Sunday.These two teams have met twice so far this season, once in WMCB main league and other in the T20 tournament. In each of the encounters Vikings came out on top as the winners.

It remains to be seen if UMBC can continue their winning habit and overcome their arch rivals Vikings to end the season on a high note.
