Andrews Team lost a tightly contested game against a friendly energy exiles team. The game was played in a good spirit with a number of the exiles showing excellent sporting. This has been rare in the opposition of late and was much appreciated. Morden threw away an excellent start and ended up on 168 for 8 from 40. Chris Whitfield and Roy capitao leading the charge, with some good lower order support from "Big Bird" Clifford, Andrew " Skip" Jarrett and Cuan "sledge" Brown. Unfortunately the middles order decided that sitting in the pavilion as better than batting as they managed just 4 runs between 4 wickets. Azza " Bam Bam" Malik managed to get out to Grahame " You are my bunny " Pinkney. Hard luck Azza, Roy " Keen as Mustard " Capitao survived a dropped catch off of Grahame as well. The bowling was all right but the 3 dropped catches cost us nearly 100 runs and as such the match. We kept it tight but lost it in the 39th over when "Bowling is for the birds" Jarrett bowled poorly at the death and managed to kill three members of the slips with a wide delivery which went for 4 byes.
An enjoyable game but the team was gutted as we definitely gave this one away.
