Penn Street vs Kimble CC

PSCC won the toss and decided to put the opposition in to bat, which at 30-odd for nought after a few overs, seemed like it might have been a terrible idea!

However, Kimble collapsed from 33-0 to 92 all out, with wickets for Ronnit (2), Caitlin (3) and figures of 2.5 overs, 1 maiden, 4 wickets for 4 runs for Nick Loftus! Before the game I was told that Nick was on 99 catches for the club...unfortunately Nick didn't take a catch, but little did we know (until after the game) that Nick was also on 399 wickets for the club, so his 4 wickets saw him pass the 400 mark for PSCC. Huge congratulations Nick!

Chasing had been a real struggle last weekend against the Hit, so we were taking nothing for granted as Rob S. and Chris R. opened for PSCC.

As we quickly found out we needn't have worried as both openers, but Chris in particular, made the pitch look very playable, as they knocked off the 92-run target in 18.1 overs. Chris was at his flowing, faultless best, driving, pulling, flicking and cutting his way to 69*, with even the opposition fielders in awe at some of his shot making. Rob was also the perfect foil at the other end, at this belligerent best, cutting wide balls for four and making sure the scoreboard continued to tick over, often stealing the strike on the last ball of the over!

An all round stellar team performance, that saw us finished before 3pm.

It's not often can you have a few post-cricket drinks and pub dinner with the family, and are home by 6pm!

Thanks to the team for making it a joy to captain, Ady for helping with pitch prep, Archie for sorting the drinks, and Tilly for scoring.
