Finely judged....

The combination of fine weather and a good pitch (with some bounce !) allowed a 35 over match. Despite some dropped catches and an early batting collapse, a sterling performance was made against Kimbolton with a score of 184, winning by 2 runs with just a few balls to spare and nobody left to bat ! Ollie Middleton hit two boundaries to secure the victory, which makes up slightly for his shocking batting performance last time, and earns him Man-of-the Match award. Top scorer was Jody who hit a good proportion of the runs and kept the rate up nicely. Good bowling performances from Bob, Jeremy, Ollie M, Ollie J, Jody and James though a good few wides too. Here’s to the away game on 21^st September....need some catching practice before then, particularly Hoppy !

Pathfinders weekend....

Friday evening cricket match against aircraft research team...fine victory despite Olly Middletons spectacular demise to his first ball.....fortunately Dad Noel showed the way with controlled innings. Good contributions from Phil, Bob, Maya and others. Weekend notable for Pathfinders visit, wartime exhibition in Church, flyover by Typhoons and Hercules on saturday. Lancaster bomber made several low level passes over village on sunday afternoon. New book of interest....

Catching practice !....

Thanks to money raised we have ordered a slip cradle to enhance our pathetic fielding abilities....not for sleeping in !
