 Firstly a big THANK YOU to everybody involved in getting us 11 players (mobile phone companies must love us). On the first decent sat of the season John lost the toss and was asked to field . Jim 12-2-40-2 plus a catch, Glen (the miser) Urquart 11-3-19-3,Nick (the mighty midget) Arnold 4-0-17-1 including a certain Clinton Stevenson with his only ball to him for a duck clean bowled. Barney and John with a wicket each. Plus catches from John, Our man in the dark glasses (Jack) and Mike Hancock with his first catch for us and only 20 extras this week and the rest of the team for a brilliant display in the hot conditions they got to 166-8 of 42 overs. TEA 7.5  

Jack(9) and Mike led us into the heat before Mike was left on the floor bleeding from a gash to the head inflicted by an ex member of our club (see above) who couldn’t even say sorry. Barney (17), Glen with a match turning 25,Ben (long handle) Hunter (19), Nick (19) John with a skippers innings (19no) and Mike (22 no) were the hero’s as we reached 167-9 to record our first win of the season in the 40^th over.

Well done guys you made my day umpiring it by winning with a brilliant Team spirit.

On Monday we played Poole Town in the under 15 league. Batting first we made a terrible start losing 2 wickets in the first over. Things didn’t improve when we lost our 3^rd wicket in the 2^nd over. We made all the mistakes we were making 3 years ago and I was close to calling the Samaritans. Aaron Hayman then came to the crease and started to salvage something from the game. He batted positively and that is what got him through. Aaron retired on 35 and gave us a base to rebuild from. The good work was carried on by Ben Woodrow who made histop score for Suttoners with 25 not out. He was assisted by Ali Garrard (13) and Cody Hayman (5 not out) as the score marched on to 115-6.

My half time team talk was fairly negative and I tried to explain that we were playing a very good side who would get the runs within 10 overs!! I was surprised with the response from our bowlers, Cody and Aaron (Man of the match) Hayman. Cody took a wicket in his first over which gave us a few positives and both bowled well. Unfortunately their batsmen were just a little bit too god for us and they got 116 for 4 wickets. Tom Goulding playing in his first game for Suttoners started well with 2 wickets for 22 and Ali Garrard took a wicket at the end thanks to a great catch by Matty Ings. We are a good side that can play a great deal better than we did but we are making silly mistakes and not learning from them. No under 15 match next week and then only 1 game left so lets focus on winning it if we can.

Good luck to the under 13s and 14s who are back in action this week.
