At last a glorious summer's day and an exciting game played in the right spirit to match.
Batting first, skipper Dawson rolled back the years with an impressive display of strokeplay which reduced the opposition, at times, to tatters as they simply couldn't bowl to him. He was well supported by Ian Hearne, Stu Jackson and Dave Crowe. Surely, it can be no coincidence that Croweman's new training regime and conversion to the temperance movement have led to such an improvement in his game ? Park House closed their innings on 161.
If the batting brought back memories then the bowling was nothing more than all our yesterdays. Turning his arm over for the first time in many a year, Bandeen senior showed all the craft and guile of slow medium bowling with a nifty run out to boot. He was well supported by Bandeen junior who bowled a steady 5 overs too. In spite of this CCC ran out winners by 6 wickets.
Finally a special mention to Liam Jackson who made his debut and Jenny Bandeen who did a magnificent job serving refreshments.
Next game Hylton away 10/8, Sparta home 13/8.
Team : Dawson, Dawson, Jackson, Jackson, Bandeen, Bandeen, Gardner, Gilchrist, Dures, Crowe, Hearn.
