TSJ v Ashton
Winning start to the season for the firsts!
Scores on the doors:
TSJ 212-3, Ashton 111 a/o (5 points to TSJ)
A cracking start to the season; pretty difficult conditions for batting and bowling, but we got off to a good start with the returning Kieran playing a tremendous knock to stabilise the top order. Indeed the opening partnership realised something like 120 ... useful knocks from Bird (does he ever play himself in?!) and Nelly Butt ensured we posted a decent total, though it could have been much bigger.
Paul 85, CDO 46, Bird 39, Nelly 30 no, Scunners about 10 no?
Ashton got off to a slow start with Paul and Scunners bowling tidily on a dead pitch. A couple of early wickets ensued to put us in the driving seat. There was a mini recovery with a few loose overs seeing Ashton hammer about 50 in a short space of time, but the introduction of new man "Boris" Phillips and the return of Scunners saw Ashton plummet from 100-3 to 111 a/o. Plenty of lethargy in the field - we'll need to tighten up for next week. Some tremendous catching too, with Kieran bagging 3 including 2 beauties, and Paul and Nelly each taking 2.
Don't mention catching to Cliff though! ;-) yellow gloves are excellent for washing up and working in the garden but not for wicket keeping!!
