With the game at Hylton being called off the previous week, Park House went into their league clash at Bullocksteads against Oceans with a full team. With skipper Dawson absent due to 'flu stand his stand in started off poorly by calling wrong at the toss and then suffering in the field as Oceans posted an impressive 160.
Full credit to the young bowlers Peter Bandeen and Danny Gilchrist who refused to wilt under the strain of big hitting from the Ocean batsmen. Well played too Keith Reeder who demonstrated the virtues of a good line and length.
Ian Hearne led the reply with a fine display of proper cricketing shots all around the wicket but Park House were unable to maintain any momentum and finished some way short on 86.
Team: Hearn, Jackson, Crowe, Dunn, Cawthra, Dures, Gardner, Bandeen, Bandeen, Reeder, Gilchrist.
