A Hampstead
Norreys batsman goes down with cramp bringing a temporary
lull to proceedings.
However, all was soon dealt with and EGCC's bowler, Arthur
Hayes was quickly back on the case
The spectators
also enjoy the rarity of perfect English Summer Cricketing
weather
No doubt
about this wicket. Clean and precise.
Russ
Highnett took 3 for 20, Tom Highnett 3 for 36 and Nigel
gay 2 for 10 ~ The best of the bowlers as Hampstead totalled
133 all out
In reply, Garston
needing to score at less than 4 runs per over, lost a
wicket in the first. Unfortunately it didn't stop there
as wickets tumbled regularly, with Garston finishing the
match at 84 all out. Only Russell Highnett showed any
resistance, batting right through the innings, scoring
46 not out. On the whole, a very dissapointing result
and probably Garston's worst performance for 3 seasons.
However, the team bounced back to form at the following
match on Thursday the 4th of June, by beating Pallett
& Collins in a Twenty 20 game at Northcroft, by 57
runs.............................Mick
