Punctual Cross (!!) lift the gloom at Arbo

Parks Trophy 1st Round.
At Arboretum.

APNA 86ao (19.2overs)
Hamid 28.
Bainbridge 4, o, 17, 1
Bonfield 4, 0, 18, 1
Ellis 3.2, 0, 19, 3
Russell 4, 0, 22, 3
Lynch 4, 2, 7, 1

Holy Cross 92/4 (12.4)
S. Pickering 34*
K. Fraser 18
N. Webb 15 *
Mr Extras 26!
Umair 4, 1, 14, 3

A few aspects of the match worth remarking on:
* HX won a Twenty:20 match versus a decent side!!-something that happens about as often as Volcanic dust disrupts air flight in the UK.
* HX's catching (and calling for catches) was notably good.
* For once we took the 1st chance offered by their best bat (Zahid Ali).
* Dougie took 3 wickets in 4 balls in his final over.
* Pat was too quick for them.
* Nawaz played for the opposition but only made 5.
* KF and Spick got us off to a flier (44 off 4) that pretty much assured victory-despite a middle order wobble against a fine spell from Umair.
* cje was dismissed by one of the balls of the decade.
* Norrie finished off the game with 2 6's.

But most remarkably:
*HX had 10 players (plus 2 subs -C. McGill and M.Baker) at the ground and ready at 5.50...when the opposition only had 1....

Cheers to our scorers/ supporter/ helpers:
C.McGill, M.Baker, A. Quinn.

  3. ah but they all count KF however the most remarkable achievement for me was fielding for nearly twenty overs and not touching the ball now that must be a record or were they avoiding the danger man in the field.....
