Horndon on the Hill v BENFLEET CRICKET CLUB Benfleet 1st XI on Sat 21 May 2005 at 13:30
BENFLEET CRICKET CLUB Won 9 wickets
Benfleet 213-9
Horndon 214-1
Horndon won by 9 wickets.
Well it all started so well with Doggy and the Saj posting over 50 before the first wicket fell, then some tight bowling on an interesting wicket slowed us right up, then we had our customary couple of run outs - yes, no, see ya... (Webby notice I did not mention you nearly run yourself out again) and we slowly crept to the 200 mark with Milesy holding firm and yours truly playing a few lucky drives and pulls to get us 8 pts and a reasonable total.
We took to the field and the first ball was hammered to the boundary by Dave Stitson and a 10 minute delay occurred whilst we located it in the bushes.....despite some good bowling from Milesy and the Puppy we failed to break their very strong batting line up and they knocked off the winning runs with some ease.
A better effort than last week but more work and practice and hopefully a bit of luck will gain us a few more points and hopefully a much needed victory.
