3rd XI Match Report
Won Toss for 3rd game running!! (What's going on !?)
With the threat of rain on the horizon, Yateley decided to bat. With P Nichols dispatching the 1st ball away for 4 it seemed the decision seemed to be justified. The 50 was brought up in the 9th over, and by the time J Garrett (12) was out in the 20th over the score had reached 128. Adam Doorbar strode in with the instruction to push on and rotate the strike to get the in-form P Nichols on strike, erm.. 6 overs 88 runs later (64 scored by Adam) I think we can say Job successfully done. Yateley declared @ 216-1 in the 26th over. A demoralised opposition declared it was time for tea, unfortunately when we returned from tea the rain had set in and the game was called off.
A great performance by Paul, John & Adam. M.o.M Paul Nichols
