A very exciting game as we approached the end of the season. We lost the toss and were put into the field.
The fielding was improved in terrible rainy conditions, but still a few silly errors and dropped catches ensured the visitors totalled 136 for the loss of 3 wickets.
The best bowling was from Paddy C who took all three wickets for 18 runs; Kevin H must take a little credit at Wicket Keeper for the two catches behind.
The boys batted superbly against a very impressive Trent attack.
Paddy C was the ‘main man’ at the crease scoring a valuable 48* (including 7 x 4s) in our innings. Unfortunately, Theo H (8) and Alex W (0) were both out Hit Wkt, Matthew N (6) and Isaac S (3)were caught out and Elliot T was bowled for 9 runs off 3 balls; leaving 40 runs needed off 4 overs.
Up stepped Andrew C. With Paddy C in support, he stepped up and smashed the ball everywhere! It all came down to the last ball where we needed a 6…… I had begun to believe it was going to happen….. it was not to be. We lost by 6 runs in an incredibly exciting 20 over match against good opposition. Andy C was 29* (including 4 x 4s and a giant 6).
Man of the Match is Paddy C.
