Result - Turks

Sun Sep 7th Match Drawn

Match report

Having agreed which wicket to play on with the oppo at Stonegate, the Grannies were put into bat.
Both James Caldwell (25) and Martin Pryke (32), getting us off to the perfect start of 72 before the first wicket fell.
It was not easy, with the ball moving around in the air and wicket doing its usual!!!
Everyone who batted chipped in, particularly Duncan Ellis who scored 42, along with extras, especially wides and even Mr Yeates, who decided on a suicidal run and ran himself out.
The Grannies declared at 196 for 6 from 39 overs and tea was taken.
A quick pep talk from the captain before taking the field "to back our bowlers and take our catches" had the opposite effect and unfortunately the Grannies did not take their catches and thus went the opportunity to win the game.
The Turks were always just about in the running to win the game, but with wickets taken at crucial times, especially a fantastic run out by the wicket keeper, 12 was needed from the final over.
We managed to keep it tight and they finished on 186 for 8 from 33 overs.
Pari Job, took 2 wickets for 22 runs from 9 overs, Jonny Morris 3 for 71 from 11 overs and Justus Van Lare, 2 for 33 from 7 overs.
Thanks to all who played.
