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
