On a damp green track we were put in, and it was like batting at the start of the season again. Matt and ryan dug inn well and were beginning to get the upper hand when matt unluckily played on! Ryan was looking good for runs again until given out LBW. Shaun was unlucky when he played one on that didn't bounce true. The less said about the skippers dismissal the better! Ollie and Nigel consolidated until oli was given a very dubious LBW again! Kirkbys attack suited the wet track with lots of dibbly dobbly bowlers that were relatively easy to score off but easy to get out to as well! I don't think we had scored so freely all season but unfortunately kept losing wickets!
JT and Nigel batted well until they both hjoled out in quick succession bringing both Petes to the wicket. These two put on a very good partnership of 80 runs with some great striking by Pete senior!
Als strokelplay at the end was a display to savour and the 36 runs proved crucial!!
The awkward approach to the wicket from the pavillion end unsettled ryans early spell, but Matt and Al kept things together. Mark rediscovered his bowling arm and took his first genuine wicket of the season! It was a close finish but regular wickets inhibited their scoring rate and we ran out winners by 13 runs!
Another positive team display with everyone contributing and another step in the right direction! Bring on Dacre Banks!

ryan was very unsettled and lets hope that will be the last time we see that!
Fielding prize for Matty Chav, he must have saved 20 runs and took a good catch in the deep ...
