LSVCC played Blunham on Sunday 6th June, stand in skipper OJ winning toss and electing to bat. the lighting quick pair of Moss and Shaw were sent out to open and with some solid defensive shots, a few swing and miss and a edge for 1, Clive was 1st to go in the 4th over. The 5th over was not much better with Tony missing his opening partner he followed him back on the 4th ball for 2, and Patrick came and went with a Golden duck that was to cost him later. Pete joined Richard smith at the crease and the pair started to amass some runs, Smith finally going for 11, caught playing one too many big shots. Price in his first game for the village played a nice shot back down the ground before being bowled following a bowling change for 5. this brought OJ batting at 7 to the crease in only the 11th over!! He and Pete were going along steady with OJ showing the bowler a lot of respect in the first over allowing him a maiden, this paid off the following over as 2 full toss were dispatched for 6's. this was by far the longest the LSVCC players had seen Pete go without a fag, and a pint seems this was now here, and a tired looking shot saw him fall for a creditable 21, Arch joined OJ for the last 7 overs of what should have been a long 7 overs for the Blunham fielders but one full toss too many and Jody was too quick on his shot the ball hitting middle stump as bat was over left shoulder and eyes looking towards swings where ball should have gone. Clive Burchett was next in, and as he came OJ topped edged one to fine leg falling for 57. Jake Cain came in and played some nice shots, hitting 5 4's in his quick fire 22, Dad Nick learning from son got off the mark with a 4, before being last man out for 5.
Rain then interrupted play and following a few Zzzzz's on the cradle both captains agreed that the pub was the best option.
