A bit late apparently system issues with the league up loading site. a trip to White Coppice is always a delight, marathon car journey through the back lanes to the East of Chorley, area is popular with walkers and very few spaces were available to late comers on the
car park
We won the toss elected to bat and lost the wicket of Walters hooking at a short delivery (note no idea when wickets fell as it is the home side Walton Le Dale to put them in and obviously they didn't)
The skipper made 10 before forgeting o hit the ball and Messers Amos and Bruce departed sharpish. Luxton and Conn took us up to about 50 before Conn departed followed quickly By Mr Hankey.
Yours truly arrived and with Mr Luxton put on about 30, as you can see from the card after hitting two fours and a two apparently was out caught for 7. Again I had sight screen issues however these were more than made up for by the Amazon delivery gitl in what can only be described as tight shorts. It is hard enough concentrating on the bowler when behind him is a lass bending over, dirty job but was handled with aplomb.
Luxton went for a good 39 before Ackers hit two fours at the end and a total of 123 was pretty reasonable Valaluwala took 5 wiockets for Walton.
Given these Covid times you have to take your own sandwiches, stumper Jimmy Bruce went one better he brought his own camping grill and the smell of bacon wafted over the ground.
We soon took an early wicket but Newton and Bolton put together a useful stand, Newton scoring 99.9% of his runs on the leg side was the domiminant of the two given he scored 50 however we got in at the other end and chipped away finally getting Newton there was yours truly actually running someone out a miracle and apart from a bit of a brief flurry from Benyon we wrapped up our second victory of the season.
Lever 5-40 but with able support from Walters and Conn
