A weekend of torrential rain meant that the pitch at Heighnton was somewhat soggy. As Duncan Clark put it, you can put your thumb into the pitch, up to your elbow! However, we played and despite looking like a sponge that a dog had been chewing on, there was a surprising amount of bounce. Expecting to be bowled out for around 40 - we made 138, with nibsy top scoring with 58 (ish).
Bowling we created lots of pressure but very little in the way of wicket taking opportunities. It didn't matter in the end though, as we squeezed the oppo out in the last over, they fell 5 runs short with 6 wickets in hand!
It was excellent to feel as though we were winning those close games that were real battles!
