Cavendish Cricket Club

With the stench of our Cup defeat at the hands of the Engineers still lingering, we were eager to redeem ourselves and began well with a win of the toss. The Fitz pitch looked good as usual, and the boundaries a great deal closer than Churchill’s, so we decided to bat. Brett got us off to a good start to the innings, and was backed up by solid performances from both of the Justins to see us through to a defendable total of around 130. Our bowling line up was very good, and we fielded courageously, with Glenton’s mid-off shin stop bringing the crowd to its knees. Unfortunately it also brought Glenton to his knees and Uli was soon called into action as 12th man. Overall we couldn’t quite break through in the early stages, failing to hold onto a couple of half-chances, and this allowed their classy openers to cruise past us without loss and a few overs still to spare.
