Match report

The Grannies having won the toss decided to bat and what looked like a high scoring ground soon appeared not to be the case.
With runs hard to come by and wickets falling, including a run out, we were rescued by a partnership from Patrick Tolhurst (35) and Ed Brennan (47).
This enabled the lower order to try and push the score along, resulting in a declaration at tea of 153 for 9.
The first one and half overs of the Grannies bowling did not go to plan, with The Turks opening left hander dispatching the ball to all parts of the ground and the game looking already lost.
However, Henry Collins struck, removing the left hander and taking another with the following ball.
This led to Julian Graham also getting in on the act and ending with figures of 2 for 16 from 5 overs.
The Grannies were back in the driving seat and had The Turks at 5 for 32.
Ed Brennan, continuing where he left off with the bat, 2 for 18 from 4 overs and a catch.
Joe Brennan taking three catches behind the stumps and even Lawrence Brennan getting in on the act with the catch that won the game.
Once Robert Leachman, playing with son, William (thanks Ed Daffan for playing for the other side) had bowled his off-spin as he nears his 1000 ground, Henry returned to finish with 6 for 25 from 6.3 overs.
The Turks were bowled out for 95, resulting in the Grannies winning by 58 runs and a great all round team performance.

Match info

Apparently a nice ground with a new pavilion. The Turks are a wondering side and are likely to consist of players from the Band Of Brothers.
