Another Flaming Defeat!

Against Blue Flames, Matt won the toss and Rowlands batted first. An immediate setback was James Welch caught in the slips for a duck. Fenwick Friskin had only made 6 when he was caught also off Kieron. Matt and Roy then lasted for a while until the more adventurous Roy was caught off Andy Horner for 9 (1 four). Phil Hornsey set about the bowling in typical style and made 22 with a four and a six before being caught and bowled Horner. Dinak Rawlley struggled to make an impact and was 4 not out whilst Matt eventually fell caught for a MoM 34 (2 fours). Bob Dodds made a quick duck and Richie faced one ball without scoring. 89-6 in16 overs was well short of a decent target to defend.

However, Richie Munro and Ian Pratt bowled tightly and each recorded 4-0-16-2, Richie bowling two and Pratty enjoyed catches by James Welch and Roy, keeping well. At 8 overs only 40 was on the board and Rowlands had a chance. However Dick Chapman had other ideas and hit 28 not out in control of the Flames reply. Bob Wilson bowled 3 overs for 32 while Don claimed 2-22 off 2.1 with catches from Matt and Fenwick as Flames cruised home in the 14th over. Rowlands losing streak continues; 8 league games played and lost. It was a good gme played in a good spirit, especially for the Flames!
