FIRSTS SECOND
AFTER WINNING DRAW We missed Golden Graham, The Butcher and Dale, but the Ibiza boys were back in town. As so often happens, a big Friday night on the lash concentrated minds. DJ Sammy and Vat Man Ladd made a safe and steady start putting on nearly 50 before Sammy left to concentrate on teas. Laddy reached before 50 before correctly judging this was around his 20% for the day. Tinno, in need of a big score, looked serene and we were well placed at 100-2 off 30 overs. Ted Vegas was more swashbuckling, finding his trademark flick of the legs in good order. Kirkby's pie chucker put the brakes on a bit and Tinpot was out for 21 to a Gilchrist slog. Rendu struck the ball sweetly but as ever found the fielders, but made a pedigree 30. Ted was finally out of luck and breath for 52, but not before a showboating, bat-kissing clip over mid wicket from a yard outside off. The cavalry arrived. Meeky's batting order merry-go-round landed at the 6 jacket, and he upped the rate with 2 sixes in a quick fire 23. Baker was the recipient of a dreadful drop, but could only make 3. It was left to Jean Claude Van Dessy to reach double figures for the season with a beautiful dab through gully, and a Lara-esque pull over square leg. Tuckers blocked out the last over to get us to a very respectable 233-7 at tea. Tea by Mrs Bradley was a beaut. The highlight was split between the chocolate fruit fondue and basmati meatballs. Skipper Gillespie came steaming in down the hill and quickly found the edge, Laddy plucking the cherry. Meeky then gained a plum LBW. Rocket responded with an amazing run out deflecting the ball on his follow through. A couple more wickets and we were on to top at 40-5. An opposition rearguard saw one chap score a decent 80, but once he'd gone the tail end Charlies showed no interest in the game. However hard we tried we couldn't get a breakthrough. Kirkby limped to 162-8, Rocket taking 4 wickets, Bobby and Meeky 2 each. A winning draw and 17 points sees us jump up to 2nd in the table. M.O.M. Rocket M.O.M In Running |
NELLY
LEAVES CIRCUS WITH CUP WIN Keyworth CC booted the current leaders of 1A out of the cup for the second consecutive year with a magical display away at Long Eaton. Rendu went out to toss with their captain who was eager to speak about their plans for a League and Cup double. Back in the changing room, and lacking a few first-teamers, Rocket was his usual self in his man management skills. "How's your left arm spin Wozzer?" "Not great, but my right arm spin is fine" came the reply. Meanwhile, Benjy was reluctant to leave the dressing room without a Scooby Snack and Shaggy for company having been spooked the night before by Old Man Withers. Long Eaton got off to a flyer. Then the circus started as the entire Elliot clan put down catches. Rumours abounded that Cowlard and Tuckers were also fathered by Ted as they showed that they were jugglers who couldn't catch - five clowns in one team. Then hope arrived as the Band Stand started up. The music rallied the Millers with Dave Hiller and Marcel Dess(aill)y bowling great spells. However, it was their dedication of "Nelly the Elephant" to our heavy boned spinner that got Baker blowing his own trumpet with four wickets. 180 off 45 overs was average on a glass outfield. Tea, was steady,
whilst the large away support tucked in to Vino
Tinto with gusto. SECONDS STUFFED AT
STANTON Bowling first we were well on top. The Cabbage Patch kid bowled a great spell, at one stage having figures of 3 for 6 off 6 overs. At 40-6 the home side were in all sorts. However, we couldn't press home the advantage. One batter made 70-odd, despite only having one shot, but a shot that we kept bowling to. Ground fielding was better than of late, Sandy taking a great catch. But Murali Burton was day-dreaming in the deep allowing a skier to go over his head for 4. Liam got a bit of tap late on but finished with 5 wickets. 170-9 at tea was a competitive score Tea required a long walk but was by no means the worst of the season. In reply we were soon in disarray. Star all rounder Ball was distracted by a Kawasaki rally behind the bowler's arm and went for a duck. Top Man Burton and Skipper Cowlard both perished cheaply, along with Dimps and Young Benji. Ernie held on gamely at one end to make 30 odd, but it was a procession at the other, and we folded like a pack of cards to be 51 all out. M.O.M. Liam Elliott M.O.M In Running
