Won the toss again and put them in three out of three just a magician with the coin, the track looked a bit green so hoped our bowlers would do the trick




After 5 overs they were 50-0 as the ball disappeared to all parts, we dropped one catch it went miles into the air Rob Abbott got his hands to hit dropped it. Bowling change the leg spin og Glen Ackerman started to work his way through the batting. At 104-6 we were well in the game but some lusty hitting on serial sledger Kerrigan got them towards their eventual total of 155 which is strange as the scoreboard read 157, we fielded well on a dire school outfield, we only dropped one more catch Rob again, but new boy David Hankey took two. Quite impressive from us

At 29-3 we were up against it but a lengthy stand between Messers Clayton and Carter put on 86, in Clayton's innings he hit a six, several fours and scored twice putting the ball between the posts of the football field which wwe were basically playing on.
Clayton eventually fell to a good diving catch and then it was a bit of a procession although myself and Mr Lever put on 24, we fell just short.

Went to school in Leyland where we were playing, so looked up my old school on Google Maps, disappointed to see that the cricket square was now buried under an artificial football pitch, looks like they no longer play the game
