Match Report – 2nds Claim third win in a row

by Tom Mason

Phil lost the toss and was inevitably sent to the field and it soon backfired as John had their opener out leg before the first ball of the match. John bowled well as always and was well backed up by Richard who kept the pressure on at the other end. Then on came Charlie and Phil who both bowled well which meant that the pressure was kept on Phil managed to pick up a few wickets as did Charlie who also got the lucky run out where it hit his hand and rebounded onto the stumps and the batsmen was out of his crease. After a few more run-outs John R bowled and I managed to pick up a wicket with the batsmen just completely not reading it. Richard then came on and got the last wicket to fall and they were all out for 120.

After another great Bramshaw tea, it was John W & George Jones who both batted superbly hitting the ball all over the place with a lot of fours and sixes. With some help of some bowling which wasn’t of the highest standard they both soon passed fifty, first George and then it was John who had yet another superb match. The winning runs were hit by John who finished on 56* whilst George finished on 64* his highest-ever score. This was a great all-round display especially to win by 10 wickets which is a very rare occurrence for any team. Yet again it was John W who was the main contributor to the win with big runs and wickets.

Next week is away to Burley so let’s go for an elusive fourth win in a row.
