A post parrandial Waltham St Lawrence team
limped and spluttered to defeat in a seriously inept
display of cricket. Following the heavy nights drinking
involving everybody except Matt "my body is a temple"
Nebbett, the WSL team drew lots to ascertain the batting
order and Woolford duly opened the innings with Matt
Trudgill.
However, at the bowling end was David Railton who had
missed the party and what a mismatch this served up
as he probed away outside off stump cleaning up Woolford
then having Trudgill caught behind as he looked to move
the innings forward. Harris then played a little cameo
for 13 and Thompson and Thomas dug in for the Saints
in face of some good bowling from Gosling, Eke and Cornwall
Jones.
Eventually Thompson was out for a well made 19 and Thomas
soon followed for a 26 ball 2. Monon and Owen followed
cheaply as Waltham were collapsing. Connor and Burge
put on 40 for the 9th Wicket to give some respectability
to the score but as Kiani flayed wlidly at a Ben Yeo
delivery, the Waltham players innings folded for a lowly
113.
During the break Railton ensured the players that they
were in with a chance but in spite of early wickets
a large stand and some poor bowling ensured a comprehensive
win for the Trustees to the delight of the WSL players
who all promptly went home to sleep.
Congratulations to the Trustees and see you all next
year. |
