It was not a good start to the day, a text from Tates saying he couldn't play and was on his way into A&E (all H&CHCC players are banned from playing rounders during the season (its the law)). We couldn't get hold of super-sub jake so turned up at Bardwell with 10............ But what a 10 we were!
Winning the toss i decided to bowl first, Hodgy and Jacko (less the beard) bowled really well in th...e first half before spells from Shaun, Josh and Armstrong senior. the runs were coming fairly freely for the home team and a high total was on the cards..... but cometh the hour cometh the 1st hat-trick of the season by former bowler of the year Nicky Rutter!
215 to win.
Roberts scored a quick 20 before holing out to mid-off, and in walked VC Ben to join Mr Hodge. 1st ball 4....... and so started the runfest (partnership of 160), the ball being hit to every boundary almost every other ball. Atkinson was out with 15 runs to win for 90 and the sensational Mr Hodge with 1 run to win hit a six to win the game and take him to the first century of the season.
A really great win and a great team performance, no dropped catches, only 1 misfield, nicks first hat-trick and Hodgy looking to carry on where he left off last year.
Bardwell were a great team and a really nice bunch, we had a great tea ("best flapjack ever" ATKINSON 2012) and a great days cricket.
