Enfield Invicta v London Colney Cricket Club Sunday 2nd XI on Sun 06 May 2007 at 2pm
London Colney Cricket Club Won by 4 wickets
On a fine, bright day but with a chilly wind later L/C inserted Enfield in a40 over game that was played in a tremendously sporting atmosphere. After 8 overs Enfield seemed to be comfortable and coasting but with the introduction of the skilful and experienced Mike Newland (8-2-19-2) and the variations of the youthful Mitch Bradley (8-2-18-3) the brakes were put on. To follow John Gibbons (5-0-23-2) carried on the good work. Only N.Patel (41) gave any resistance with many others reaching double figures, but none managing to kick on. When the skipper Den Hadley (1.1-0-0-3) came on to claim the last 3 wkts, it was all over with nearly 3 overs to spare. Enfield making a tidy 159 all out. During their innings we thought we heard the cries of the local wild life, but soon realised that it was Kev appealing for a stumping.
After a nice tea L/C started the run chase at a bit of a stutter, but when Kev Lawrence(44) joined Mitch Bradley(47) For the 3rd wkt stand of nearly 60 runs things got back on track. With the 2 of them departing in quick succession young Connor Dow(10) guided the team close to the winning total with the help of Den(19). Andy McDonald(5) and Steve Rouse(6) got the side home with 1 ball to spare.
Couple of final points:-
(1)WAAAHEEEEYA (Thanks for that Kev, very educational)
(2)I think we should try to keep this fixture both home and away.
