by Adrian Lightly

Damo (v. tidy) and The Skipper (2 slip catches down, not happy) open bowling - AL wicket super 1h diving catch by Ollie

1st change Dave L with New Dad Berry -> pitch playing up, bouncy one end, shooting the other, keeps ing Jason on his toes

Their guys playing safe - chap w/ red cap = 50+ solid inings

Territt = slow left arm, forcing the run rate = mistakes and another good take from Ollie, plus a C&B

Ollie debut bowling, 2 wickets in one over incl Lightly juggling catch (brutally winded in the call of duty)

Dave back on, bowled one chap, couldn;'t get the last couple out even though Damo whistling round ears of one chatty type

Few too many wides and the odd fielding mistake - early in season so bit rusty

182-8 at tea

Berry / Ollie opening - solid against some straight stuff

1st wicket = Ollie around 30 missing straight one under bat, Ben J in only 2nd kncok ever, one massive six into trees amused everyone

Berry bravely batting with groin strain (no jokes about new dad, etc) kncoking about well, but mistimed up i air to keeper

DAmo in, huge hits score ticking over, Adrian in after Ben J went aerial once too often and a partnership started, set about the slowies, Skip walked (correctly) after a glove to keeper bringing in Dave - dream team at the crease starting to make some progress. Huge hit out of the park (Which one?) and we are up to about 120, then bad LBW Dave out - Territt came in to support Damo in full flow. couple of big hits, went for third (shades of KP?) and was caught in deep, super innings though.

Only needing 40 off 11 to win suddenly the tension got to us and chris C&B back to bowler then collapse as last three Muz Jase and Bod all fell for 0

146 all out

Hattrick and 5-for for their spinner - wiash we'd have had PAul who would have run riot with CT!

Result

Kingston Left Handers: 182 for 8 (41.0 overs)

GRACC: 146 all out (xx.x overs)

KLH won by 36 runs

Man of the match: Chris T wickets? Ollie on bowling debut? Damien's hitting? Dave - who got most?

Champagne Moment: Plethora for once - my catch, Ollie's diving one handed effort, huge sixes from Dave, Damo and Ben J???

Comedy Moment: My juggling? Still held onto it, but fell to earth like a stone? Golden ducks though - Jason, Muz and Bod?
