Match Report

Hat-trick
In probably our best display of the season we achieved the rarity of three consecutive victories, with a positive all round team performance, against new opposition. Blue Bell elected to bat and struggled to reach 158 from 47 overs. Simon was the main architect in BBH’s demise but the credit for restricting went to some sharp fielding and all round alertness. The oppo did not disappoint, by selecting the statutory Nobby in their side, and the skip had great pleasure discussing the finer points of the game, whilst dislodging his wicket with a two-bounce wrong-un. For all the good points our bowling and fielding had registered it was important that we did not regress into our usual pitiful display with the bat and Mark and Gordon ensured our innings got the perfect impetus with a whirlwind opening stand of 68 in 12 overs. Dare I say a mature innings from Sumo and runs at last from Gibbo scrambled us home with about five overs to spare? All this with only nine men and J.R.Hartley.
