Match report

The Grannies opted to bat on a warm sunny afternoon, and despite having a great batting line up, quickly got into one of our tail-spins, after an unlucky run out of opener Julian Graham, and some good bowling by the opposition. At one point we were 50 for 6, and only a strong performance from Tom Hamilton, who was last man out for 44, having hit two great sixes, saved our batting - ending up at all out for 86.

The Grannies however responded magnificently in the field, with strong bowling performances from Tom Hamilton and Tom Gibbs, both taking 2 wickets apiece, with support from Martin Emerson, and great fielding all round. We had the HAC pinned down at 43 for 5, and then 70 for 8, but their penultimate pair, unfortunately, saw them home.

In summary, we snatched defeat from the jaws of embarrassment, but 20 more runs, and we would have prevailed...
