Match Report

-v- ASDA at Chislehurst 16 August
Prematch On a day when victory was earmarked as a mere formality,we contrived to grasp a last gasp success, by virtue of a final over dismissal from Darth. The Match
Bill and Chucks gave us 31 more runs than anyone expected as we endeavoured to make a four man advantage provide heavy dividends. Uncomfortable is the nicest adjective I could find to describe HMV's latest escapade at the wicket,but to give credit where barracking is due, he once again occupied the crease to take the shine off a menacing attack Lardy and Sumo briefly threatened to give ASDAs attack the sort of punishment it so richly deserved, as they added thirty runs in only six overs.The skip was called away to tend to a family crisis and must in hindsigh be considered fortunate to have missed the remainder of the debacle.Neil Clark and Darky, with the considerable help of Extras, were the only double-fig additions to the total, as we finally posted 134-9 from 34 overs. Our generous gesture in allowing ASDA to recruit the services of Debbies fella, almost resulted in a large beach being kicked in our face. Deputising for absent Spud, Moysey did his very best to make a game of it, allowing ASDA the pleasure of making a few runs, before bringing the curtain down on proceedings.The sensible duo of Wilsdon and Clements did the cotainment bit, before PB Clark came on to bowl his nonsense.Even with Neil going for a steady eight an over the game was evidently still in the bag. With one bowler providing run-fodder, ASDA must have thought it was Christmas come early,when Daz introduced his own toilet to the attack.From virtual no hopers they arrived at the brink of victory.A whirlwind fifty from Bills prospective brother-in-law took ASDA to within a run of their target.The rest is far from memorable history.Did he throw his wicket!!/??? Has Bill finally discovered an asset to the side, and if so can he take Bills place???
