Firstly an apology for the lateness of the report.
This proved to be a very tricky fixture on what is best described as an interesting pitch. Having been invited to bat we got off to our usual rapid start with Artharva and Musa crashing the ball to all parts. Wickets fell steadily with Capt Freddie getting a belligerent 23 before being bowled with one that kept very low.
For the first time in a very long time, we were bowled out for 126. We needed a very disciplined bowling display and that's exactly what the lads produced.
A great opening spell from Ollie and Musa restricted Greenwich to 6 runs from 5 overs with Ollie taking 2 wickets and Musa bowling superbly but with no luck. We were struggling to take wickets but once again Arnav turned the tide bowling rapidly and accurately. Another positive was the return of Alfie to bowling duties, it was great to see and his 2 wickets and great catch were a huge bonus.
We finally managed to take the final wicket in the final over, more great captaincy from Freddie bringing Arnav back to bowl the final over, inspired.
Finally, a huge thank you to Adi and Aaron who made their debuts for the 13A side and seeing him take his first wicket was excellent.
We now move forward to our hardest and must win game of the season against Dartford. Fingers crossed the weather gods smile and let us play.
Come on the boys!!!!
