Saracens Cricket Club Won by 18 Runs
Match report
We arrived at the delightful surrounding's of Reed in North Hertfordshire just as the sun decided to appear. As we waited for "CF" to arrive, we won the toss and chose to bat on what looked like a pretty flat wicket, however very slow.
Matt (37) and Pete opened up and despite the early loss of Pete, followed quickly by Vinnie - we scored at a reasonably fast rate and were 80 - 4 from 16 overs. Slogger and "CF" made a quick fire 40 and 30, moving the score on to 140, before Dinghy (24), along with the tail saw us up to 176-8 from our 40 overs.
After the usual fantastic Reed Tea, we took the field looking to defend 176 and keep out winning run going. Matt and "CF" opened up and bowled really will with the new ball, runs were kept at a minimum. 4 quick wickets fell, with Paul Driver taking his 1st wicket on debut and Bun doing what Bun does taking two from the other end. Reed were 60-4 from 20 overs.
Dinghy came on from the Pavilion end, and along with Bun whirled away, Tidey and Martin tried to get Reed back into the game with some huge blows and the score quickly moved on 135 from 29 overs. Tricky was then introduced from the top end and had immediate success as the dangerous Tidey holed out to slogger at Long On for 28. This was followed by three more quick wickets from "CF" and Tricky as the game turned back around at 145-8.
Overs ticked by, thanks to another good spell from Matt and the returning Dinghy. We moved in to the last 3 overs with 28 required. Pete King took at fantastic diving catch at to make it 150-9. Tricky conceded 5 runs from the 29th over leaving 20 required from the last. Fittingly, Dinghy picked up the final wicket with the last ball, Great catch by Fud Pucker in the deep as we bowled Reed out for 158 to win by 18 runs and make it a club record 7 wins in a row.
