So it begins again compared to last season's first game getting to 82 was an improvement and the fact we managed to bat/survive 40 overs did give us hope for the future.
Decent track at Kirkham hard underfoot but not overly quick.

Decent start got to 20 ish before the inevitable mid order collapsed, not helped by a run out, majestic duck to start with apparenty stumped no idea whether it was so wander off. Good late order recovery by Joe Blackburn making his debut and Tom McMurdo making his highest score.
Would 82 be enough nope, Reddy and Smith made short work of our limited bowling attack and duly bopped off the runs in just over 12 overs.
Anyway not to worry new ground on Saturday darkest Rufford

Kept up my 100% record of playing in Kirkham three games three defeats and three ducks.
