On a hot humid afternnon we opted to have a bat first with the track looking as though it had dried considerably! Unfortunately the wicket proved to be lower and slower than expected, making life as a batsmen not particularly easy. We managed to accelerate the scoring towards the end of our innings, with a good contribution by Pete Townsend, who scored 32 on his 1st X1 debut. Matt Cav again batted very solidly making 46. We managed 164 from our 45 overs gaining a batting point once again!
In reply Goldsborough were quiet early doors with a good opening spell by Ryan, and a sharp piece of fielding by Pete leading to the runout of their opening bat. Unfortunately their number 3 managed to use a few lives up and made 74 not out to take them to our total for the loss of two wickets. In general our fielding was better, but we must still put the effort in to practice more! 164 was not quite a par score but we do need to defend our totals better by bowling tighter in the middle overs!
Next week is the local derby against Alne so we need a massive performance from everyone in that game!!
