London Colney Cricket Club Sunday 2nd XI v Preston ll on Sun 20 May 2007 at 2pm
Match was Drawn
Yet another w/e when the Sunday 2's had a really great afternoon when their purpose for the club was achieved with great effect.Our young stars (Connor Dow & George Ray) had a great game. Den won the toss and inserted Preston in a timed match. L/C used 9 bowlers giving most a chance to shine. The usual suspects chipped in, Mike Newland(38-1),John Gibbons(17-2),another controlled spell from Connor Dow(8-0) and young George Ray(19-0) bowled with imaginative variation.Peter Norris(8-0)spun a webb of deception and the welcome return of the Flight and Guile of the magician that is Bobby Crane(18-2).Preston finished on 142 aii out.
After tea it all started to go wrong for Colney as they lost wickets at far too regular intervals and in the end had to rely heavily on our 2 young guns to see us through. Connor batted for nearly an hour for his 12 and George's(9not out) gutsy performance with the assistance of Bobby(5not out)see us through to a hard fought draw on 66-9.
Great afternoon played in a tremendous atmosphere.
