It looked a belter didn't play like it, lacked pace

The second match against Charnock ended like the first and back to the bottom of the table we go. In truth 73 was never enough, winning the toss we crawled along at snails pace.
Steve Clayton first to go at 16(Steve wandering back pondering his dismissal and loss of his phone, he was later to pull his groin epic day not)



Andy Bamford didn't last long soon followed by the skipper 30-3 a decent stand between beveridge and Dennis took us to the giddy heights of 43-4 with little batting to come the thoughts of an early finish started to kick in. Dennis, Bruce and Myself fell in the space of two runs 60-7 and a bit of late order slogging by Lever and 74 year old wicket keeper Willets took us to 73

After a socially distance tea which now means absolutely nothing Charnock started their run chase lost the early wicket of Dilcock caught well by Warburton off Taylor, this brought Anwar who slogged a quick 17 to break the back of the total, soon got rid of Brown but opener Higham and Weir took them home.
Weir has the oddest stance in cricket looks as if he has never played in his life but he survived personally gave hm some declaration bowling to get the game over with.
Onwards and downwards only, no game for the next two Saturdays means I can rest my body
