On what looked a good track we were put into bat by Alne. Due to work committments Mark had to go, so we were effectively reduced to 10 men batting line up. Sean and Pete Orton scored 36 and 35 respectively, as we ended on 162 for 8, geeting a batting point. On an Alne wicket where 200 is about par we knew we would have to bowl well, and we did just that having them 39 for 6 at one point. Unfortunately their 3rd bat played himself in and carried his bat, with them hitting the winning runs in the final over.
We were all gutted having been so close to beating one of the stronger sides in the league, just to be pipped at the post! We must however take heart from our vastly improved bowling and fielding performance and go into the next 3 massive games with spirits up so that we give ourselves the best chance we can of picking up points!!
