The first competitive game, the juices were flowing, and the captain.. he was missing.. he had despite advanced warning conspired to buy tickets to see Roger Waters at the O2..
Now all together..BOOO!!!!
after a last minute dash because I hadn't been given a proper list of players... we started batting, and despite some good hitting we didn't get any runs
We started fielding , and a great hit in the deep was caught by Ian, it looked like it was going to be a tense close game. but it started unravel, timely hitting, knowledge of the rules meant we gave up 4 runs, but they did earn all of them..
The second inning so everyone got in the game we ended up with rob sellers pitching .. err I say pitching but it was more a case throwing the ball in the general direction of the batters.
Unfortunately after this inning we were down 11- 2
2 good runs being scored on some quality small ball (this means advancing runners)
It got worse...
Despite a brief rally in one of the later innings here we got lots of hits (against their inexperienced outfield) and runs (5)
Good work Rob Sw, Calvin, Jo, Fiona ,Sellers, Collins(who got a a home run despite crashing over at first base- the Showboat)
the final ignominy.. err score
