Saturday 17th June 2006 Mossdale Away.
Time game. I think.
Mossdale batted first and scored 184 for 6 with P. Smith 111no. but he was dropped 4 times. Ian 11 overs 1 for 43 and Andy P 11 overs 2 for 45 opened the attack, both having 2 spells. Ian took a wicket in his first over. Zaheer 7 overs 2 for 19 had a tight spell and James 8 overs for 22 bowled well. Brian 3 overs 1 for 28 was a bit expensive and Dale 2 overs for 14 completed the bowling. 2 catches for Andrew behind the stumps, 1 each for Zaheer and John M.
LTCC’s batting got in but never got going. Zaheer 16, Steve 14, a creditable 33 from Owen, John M 15. Rest of the team all in single figures Andy P 1, James 2, Andrew 4, Dale 4, Ian 0 and Brian 0no.
LTCC a miserable 118 all out lost by 66 runs.

40 overs per side.
Tony won the toss and LTCC batted first.
Ollie 75no (never gave a chance) and Steve 61 put on 125 for the first wicket. Ollie’s highest score for LTCC good stuff.
Dan 30 and Ollie continued the good work putting on 74 for the second wicket, with Dan launching a 6 into the River Avon. “Me thinks it is Stratford now.” Dan was out with 1 over remaining. Andy P hit two singles and sent the final ball for a massive straight 6, which was our winning margin. 35 extras helped LTCC to 209 for 2.

Andy opened the bowling but the batsmen liked his pace so came off after 2 overs. Brian 8 overs, 2 maidens 1 for 26 had a good debut as an opening bowler at 59 years and 10 months! Mike B 8 overs 1 for 26 tightened thinks up but Newbold were still chasing well. Stew 6 overs 2 for 32 and Tony 3 overs 1 for 14 with a C&B put the pressure on Newbold as the run rate went up to 6’s. Clem 5 overs for 31 and Amos 5 overs 2 for 35 completed the bowling. Tony came back to bowl the last over with Newbold needing 15 to win. Despite Tony’s 2 wides they only managed 9 closing on 203 for 7. LTCC won by 6 runs. 3 catches for Tony!! A stumping for Dan. Good tea. They now have a tea lady.
