Rascals v's Grannies match date 14.5.17

Victory, sweet victory.  Let us savor an unbeaten May! In reality it was really the Ben Saunders show.

Captain's Blog 15.5.17:

Dear Rascals
What a fantastic game of cricket against the Grannies and what a fantastic win. Our first since 2015!
Although it had been difficult getting a team together (still only 8 on Thursday) we ended up fielding 12 men!
It was fantastic to have Jake, Guy, Algy and Billy playing, and of course Ben Saunders (Jasper’s plus one!). 
The latter two shared the crease and remained not out at the end of the innings with Ben making a century. 
Jake opened the bowling with pace and accuracy and was rewarded with the wicket of their danger man and skipper, Ed Gardiner-Hill, clean bowled.
Algy and Guy bowled extremely well at the death with line and length and saw us home to victory.
The fielding was excellent with fine catches from Paul, Jake and Ben… and some others I think!
It was also a huge joy to have our lucky scorer ensuring the stats were neatly and accurately recorded. A big thank you to Guy.
And to Kiks for a smashing tea.
Hurrah the Rascals.

Hi Tobes, I wrote the “match report” rather late at night so it was a bit brief…. I failed to make note of your personal best run total of 27! A very fine effort. Neilo
