They were 7/120odd but had good partnerships after that for every wicket and snuck home. The big fella at the end batted well, and we gave him a few lives, and knocked up a match winning 70. It was a good game and next weeks semi between the two sides at the Ramblers should be a cracker of a game. We will be welcoming back R Hopkins and J Whenan which i am sure will make our side 3 runs better

Yeah, big Damian batted very well. To have a guy like him come in at number 9 is a huge luxury.
I agree that Hopkins and Whenan returning are big ins, but it'll be interesting to see who you have to say goodbye to make way for them. Never nice to have to drop guys going into finals...
I have to say, I don't think I've seen that many LBWs given in a game of cricket. I'm not saying they weren't there, but 7 of 20 is unusual...
IMO chris is always consistent and does not give too many lbws from what iv seen. he coulda just had many lbw's that were out. but 7 outta 20 is a lot.
Calderbank wasnt happy with his?? and walked off in a good manner. Thought that was a bit poor by him as captain standing at the crease for so long after being given out lbw ...
Great batting at the end by that damian bloke, batted well and hit some big balls! Deserved to win in the end if we couldnt bowl you out after having em 7/120 odd defending 228. Too good! Be a good game this saturday and sunday.
Well done to NH for not just avoiding the outright but batting well and should take some confidence from that into next year. Good work bazza on saying they will have to bowl you out and not giving them the chance to make the 4.
Hewett medal could come down to if Rusty did anything for keswick in there outright win? sambo and rowe obviously both big contenders but may miss out on votes this game.
