Sunday team lose

Beautiful day for it and a wonderful start to the game - despite the early loss of Gareth ‘I thought the ball was going over there then when I saw it was coming to me I decided not to try to catch it’ Oakland, Bearsted built a solid platform through Piers, Yannick ‘needs to think of shorter nicknames or stop doing these inverted comma bits’ Oakland, Mark and Alex Lush getting to 140-3 off 23 overs. However, 6.3 overs later they were all back in the pavilion having lost 5 wickets in 6 balls at one end whilst the less said about John’s dismissal the better.

Bearsted came out and bowled superbly, Steve B and Alex both deserved more from their opening spells on a flat pitch whilst Mark took 2-30. The score was always about 150 runs short of what it should have and could have been, Upchurch knocking the total off easily with 12.2 overs and 8 wickets in hand.
