Another tough day at Spring Lane.

Another tough day at Spring Lane.

Darren Fry18 May - 06:30

After two closely contested losses, we need to figure out how we return to winning ways.

Losing the toss meant being put in to bat by Walmley. Mr Little and Mr Spence gave us a good platform that we should have built more upon but again we came up short with the bat. Something we need to rectify and I for one will be working on making improvements in this area. Walmley gave us 35 wides so our total of 202 was already looking short of a few. Sammy Little and Harry Matthews were probably the two standouts in a lacklustre batting performance on a less than inspiring wicket.

With the ball we gave away far less than they did. Matt Ireland was the pick of the bunch with a wonderful five-fer - well done Matt!! (5 wkts, 1 maiden and an econ rate of 2.7!) Henry Eustace , Sammy Little and Charlie Dale-Harris taking a wicket a piece.

In the field we did pretty well, especially as we were down to 10 for a good chunk of the afternoon. Spring Lane as we know holds a few surprises in the outfield as well as in the track but we fielded well and took some good catches. We did let a few slip by and they could have changed the game. Our intensity wasn't quite where it should be but wasn't far away either. A few little tweaks and we will be back to winning ways.

Lets look to fine tune things this weekend and get some more points in the win column.
