1s vs L&B

Leeds and Broomfield

With a delayed start at 2pm and a 37 over game Hamish “lost the toss” and we were batting, after quite a dramatic warm up with Ciaran thinking he was back playing semi professional football again decided to nut one in the warm up, and should be doing the match report for it!! Hamster also decided to take the keepers gloves to try and play some early mins games.
We started fairly brightly with Ali and Hamster hitting some early boundaries and having us sitting comfortably for 25 for no loss. Then all hell broke lose and we were 50-8 with some poor shots and the occasional good ball a collapse took us by storm. However a good partnership of 20 odd from G and Spud took us to 77 all out.

Just like the week before we expected a slightly early finish but the bowlers came out fighting with me and iffy picking up a wicket each for no loss. Then iffy really kept it tight with some help from Papa we had them 12-5. Game on. We proceeded to keep things tight and picked up a few more wickets and someone dropped an important catch at long on and nearly left a whole in the wall….
Leeds and broomfield ended up 78-7 and celebrated like they won the league. However a valiant effort falling just short.
