Match Report

The thirds snatched victory from the jaws of defeat on Sunday after a lack luster performance with the ball and in the field, followed by some inauspicious and, dare I say, over-confident early order batting left them staring down the barrel at 60-5 chasing 134 for victory. 

Lewis Keogh, scrutinised as ever by Grandad, and dashing Jack Barton clawed their way back into contention, but there were still 36 runs to be made when Anuj Dangwal joined Lewis to rescue the game. Anuj played in his usual positive style and Lewis grew into his innings as, slowly but surely, the scoreboard ticked over before Anuj could stand it no longer and with three needed off ten overs, proceeded to launch one straight down long on's throat. 

However, with a tail longer than a Diplodocus making the assembled crowd a tad nervous, young Lewis cut yet another sublime shot to the boundary to win the game and end on an impressive 41 not out. 

Earlier, Tom Worthington had once again been the pick of the bowlers with 3-21, with his opening spell doing the damage. Three other bowlers took wickets, punctuated by an important partnership breaking run out that, in the final analysis, had a big bearing on the game. Onward to three successive home games with a 100% record under their belts, Mac's men, though struggling for numbers when a few absences bite, are looking good for a successful season.
