Helperby 1st X1 vs Ouseburn

Scorecard

On a very soft slow wicket Helperby lost the toss and batted first. After a solid steady start by Chav and Sean ,unfortunately, it proved difficult to score highly on a difficult track. We reached a total of 108 off 45 overs.
We took 3 early wickets but were unable to dismiss their number 3 who went on to get 50 and won them the game.
Ryans performance with the ball, along with cav will enable us to bowl teams out, and as long as the tracks firm up i'm sure ryan will be able to prove himself as a batsman as well!

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the update on the 1st game. It was good reading!
Sorry to hear you lost but it sounds like your opponents got the better of the conditions batting second on a drier track.
Helperby Cricket Club has now got a lot of supporters from Melbourne with all Ryan's mates and his family following his progress and the rest of the teams. Pls keep up the good work in updating all of us on your website. Thank you very much also for the quick update of the results on the league's website, I was able to view the scores at 6:00am Melb time on Sunday so thanks again.
Good luck to you and the rest for next weeks game.
I had the pleasure of meeting David Sowray in Melb and he said you guys face a strong team but I'm sure you will all give them a hard time and get stuck into them.
All the very best mate.
Delmer
