Saturday 6th September

 

Retford      201-5   (17 points)

Thoresby    183-7  (7 points)

 

 

We arrived to find the Championship Trophy on display as Retford had clinched it the previous weekend. This maybe brought home the fact that had we not lost so many close games we might have challenged. Retford though, it has to be said, are worthy winners, having gone the whole season without defeat.

 

Chesh yet again lost the toss (this is getting boring now) and we fielded again!!!

 

Ben found a good line, on a very flat slow pitch, with very little luck. At the other end Say found it difficult to find a good line and was replaced by Dancing Dave who struck immediately, Big Ben taking a good catch. Then followed the decisive period of the game as some shocking umpiring saw Ben robbed of three wickets. It really is amazing how umpires can fail to give easy decisions; both batsmen, even, could not understand why they were not given out lbw when stood on the stumps, and an edge that everyone on the ground heard. Dave struck to take a second and third wicket before both Ben and Say returned to take a wicket each.

 

In reply Chesh and Dan started well and had forty-one on the board before Chesh was out to an outstanding caught and bowled. Paul and Dan then took the score over a hundred before another shocking umpiring decision gave EX Notts player Randall his first wicket. It really is strange how many players with Notts gear get favourable lbw decisions. Say played some big shots before falling to an excellent boundary catch. Paul then fell and, despite a good cameo from Big Ben, the total proved a few too many. Little Ben gained good experience helping to secure an extra point at the end.

 

This was another good performance where we just failed to get over the line.
