Staggering on to the end of the season the good news is we now have less than 100 overs to bowl this season, firstly a double header against Wrea Green, a less than impressed captain gets a message to say the 10 we had was now down to nine, worse still only two front line bowlers which meant having to fiddle the other 18 overs from the other six outfielders.
Explain the fact to the opposition captain he wins toss and bats.
So myself a Dave Lever spend the next 90 minutes twirling away with varying success, when I had done my 12 overs 2-55 the Green were 96-5 so we had done pretty well however think they had slightly changed the batting order around hence 13 year old Evan Malone was in early on. From then on in skipper Mayers and Ewan's dad Iain took the game away from us putting on 124 for the 6th wicket, Andy Bamford bowled decently, Chris Gregson hadn't bowled for 212 months managed 6 overs until his body gave up and Matt Westhead bowled his first overs for the club, the joys of the second team stand i skipper. Malone senior ended up with 96, fair play to our visitors they lent us fielders so we actually had 11 on the field
So chasing 248 chances of winning zero 5-2 with a tail starting at six soon 19-4 with the captain run out for the third time again for 0 not my fault, Mr Bamford obviously forget I'm not Usain Bolt.
A bit of lusty hitting from Andy Bamf and Dave Lever got us to a better total before Andy Bamf running for hamstring casualty Andrew Bodsen managed to run him out as well
We paly them again this week on the ground with the duck pond looking forward to it
