Gotimmm. Well, where do i start? I don't remember the last time we were 2 games in with a 20 average, 7 or 8 years at least!
The work started on Wednesday when Robbo and Pete went to mow a meadow, then Nick and i spent yesterday cutting and rolling. Whilst it was wet we really wanted to play. Massive thanks to Jake P Richards for mowing the outfield! This morning was a team effort with Hodgy making teas, and Nick, Pete, Shaun, Jack, Dave, Robbo and i working on the pitch. It made a real difference having your help today, we need to be a team during games and in the preparation.
We were one short with Josh pulling out last minute but cometh the hour cometh Sammie, the first time we have fielded a lady in my 21 years with the club but a welcome edition to the team.
I won the toss and got ...a seal of approval from the big man for once, and we diddnt look back from there.
Cavendish found it very hard to score runs on a slow outfield but Hodgy and Jack were in the mood for wickets. Jack hit the stumps a couple of times, and Hodgy and Ben each played their part in a great runout. At 20 overs the visitors were 21-5! The destructive duo of Hoadley and Armstrong senior polished things off in the 30th over with TOTL* Hartest needing 65 to win.
(please note that i have left the webmaster to fill in some gaps regarding our catching)
Roberts and Hodge opened after a great tea from Mrs Anna Hodge (2yr old sausage rolls being my particular favourite). Roberts picked the teams catcher before Ben came in to some lusty blows. With 8 runs needed i got a little worried when Hodgy missed one but Moads helped Ben see us home.
Another great win by 8 wickets.
We managed to wake the Bush landlord from his sunday afternoon sleep and both teams went for a drink and a few chips. Not a great day for Cavendish but a great bunch of lads who I'm sure will be wanting to put things right when we visit them later in the season.
A great day for the mighty H&CHCC, on to Earl Stonham next week and the return of the Chairman.
