The rain started in the 16th over and the skies looked grey for a short time, would we finish ?? .In the 17th over Jordan had Lakey Caught and bowled for 5 runs. Elliot came on for the last over and the new batsmen Scriven took the score through 100 as he hit 3 fours and they took an extra off a no ball. Elliot took his wicket, clean bowled on the last ball of the innings to give us an extra fielding point. Good batting from Pylewell, Scriven 14 runs off 7 deliveries and Fitzgerald 26 not out. Probably the worst fielding from green caps this season. Ollie the only one making a great stop from a square shot and saving a definte four and his part in the run out.

 The Green Caps had two decent scores to chase down, 61 by the 10th and if the rain held off, 112 to win. Fielding isn't our strength but we have quite a solid batting side all the way down the team, so this was a game we could win. Six an over - off we go. The opening bowler went for four off his 1st, a bye and 3 quick singles. Scriven had the 2nd over and clean bowled Alex off his second ball and then bowled Sam Long in the same over. 6 runs came between the 2 wickets but this was not looking good. 10 for 2 off 2. Harry came in as the No 4 to partner Elliot and steady the ship. The 3rd over contained a bye,run off a wide, a four and four byes - back on target, 22 off 3 overs. Scriven back on, then bowled Harrison ( 6 runs) and the score off 4 was 29 for 3. Target of 60 off 10 was looking good but we needed the rain after 10 overs the rate the wickets were falling. Ali joined Elliot at the crease , Elliot steadily building his score through some good shots and taking quick singles with clear decisive calling. Ahead of the rate at 44 off 6, 52 off 7.

 Elliot having played well, then retired at 30 not out during the 8th over. Tom Copley joined Ali at the crease and the batsmen were told to forget the 60 aim and look after the wickets, the 61 would come off the 10. We passed through our first target with 61 runs off 9 overs. Loseby had bowled 3 overs and Scriven had had his 4 overs. Tom hit a boundary off his first ball but was bowled by Fitzgerald for 6 in the 11th over. Jordan in at No 7

 Ali moved steadily on and was struggling with the light, Jordan who had hit his first ball for a boundary was batting himself in as usual. The two batsmen kept with the run rate, 12 runs off the 12th over put us ahead and we maintained the rate, 88 off 13, 96 off 14 103 off 15, 108 off 16. Ali hit the winning shot during the 17th over with his best innings of the season, 27 not out, one boundary in the innings showed that simple shots, clear calling can get us a good score. Jordan partnered Ali well and scored 20 not out with 3 fours.
