August 11 v Stratfield Turgis Home. Won by 3 wickets
Combined age of our opening bowling attack, 110 years, combined age of our batsmen, who took the score from 95 to the winning line, 35! For the second week running, Richard [cometh the hour cometh the man!] set about retrieving what looked like another lost cause, this time with dynamic Dan. The joy on their faces as they sat in our changing-room, lapping up the deserved thanks from the rest of the boys, was great to see.
Set 136 to win, our top order misfired again and, with half of our wickets down for 38, we appeared to have undone all of the hard work, especially Don’s, who had bowled almost throughout their innings, taking 6-36. A sixth wicket stand of 52 by the skipper and Don wrested the advantage marginally, only for them to fall in quick succession with the total on 95. So, with 41 still required and only three wickets [which included Jason, who had never batted before!] left, the situation looked decidedly unpromising as Richard strode out to join Dan with the usual good luck messages ringing in his ears. What followed next was completely off script. Yes, a few defensive shots to get the feel of the bowling and wicket but, suddenly, a barrage of boundaries. They made 38 in five overs, Dan finishing on 27* and Richard 8*, to leave Goring and their band of supporters cursing.
This third consecutive win propelled us to third in the league which in itself sharpened us up as we chased an automatic promotion spot.
