In the old days the scorebook was king however now the scoring app is king hence the scorecard of the game played today. Had a slightly stronger side out this week although only just, wasn't helped by having two batsmen late arriving which given I'd lost the toss and having been put in meant a change in the batting order.
So I opened setting a captain's example of leading from the front well for two balls at least, the opening bowler for Blackpool was a girl of about 14. First ball lifted a bit got bat on it, second was slightly further pitched up and a hapless swing across the line and it was 0-1
we rallied a little and the second wicket went down 2-2
A decent partnership between Beveridge and Dennis with Beveridge hitting some lusty blows 39-3, enter Matt Westhead usually Matt has gone in low down the order but given the latish arrivals he went in at 5 and did a very good job shared in a good partnership with Steve Dennis who had opened took the score to 67 before Dennis was out for 29.
Scoring wasn't easyand wickets started to tumble Westhead got 15, Clayton 20 however the tail didn't wag and we were all out for 95

Opening for Blackpool was Kieran Newcombe who two seasons ago scored a century against us on a day when there was a 70 mph gale blowing and two our lads fielded with coats on under their cricket sweaters it was the coldest I've ever been playing the summer game
Newcombe and Galligan put on 45 for the first wicket, they batted well had a bit of luck especially after an excellent spell by Beveridge who bowled at pace and got some lift, Dennis at the other end bowled better after a loose first over although teh app has it down as Steve Clayton
The aforementioned Clayton did break the partnership by bowling Galligan, Sainsbury looked like he would depart at any time and both he and Newcombe went in quick succession to Clayton after a few overs of pace turned to leg spin.
Fighting back I took two wickets but they got home by 5 wickets. Great performance in the field by us made them fight especially seeing it was raining for most of the time when we were bowling
