HALL TREATED AFTERWARDS FOR ALTITUDE SICKNESS
CCC defeated Parkhouse in the traditional end of season jamboree at Close House in traditional end of season sunshine yesterday. With temperatures in the 2os this was easily the finest day of a disappointing summer and the players revelled in it. John Dawson's Parkhouse outfit were depleted from the start as two players had to drop out on the morning of the match. Sportingly, French and Spencer offered to play for them and performed superbly with both bat and ball. Parkhouse scored 130-8 off 40 overs; everone bowled at least an over, with Dave and Tim excelling, and new boys Tom and Will Featherstone showing everyone how it's done in the field. CCC won the match comfortably, despite opening the batting with Tim Hall, who was later treated for altitude sickness after suffering a second ball duck. The game was completed with just under 10 overs to spare, but in encroaching darkness. Alan Boyes hit a season's best 40 not out, Tom Featherstone 27, and Edward Watson 22.
CCC's versatile team of entertainers convene next for a pizza on Tuesday night.
Team: Tim, Tom featherstone, Paul Bennett, Andy, Alan (w/k), Edward, Simon E., Matt, Will Featherstone, Dave, Cliff*, Roger*
