Penultimate cricket match 2005

Verwood won a second successive game for the first time this year making four wins in total and safety for the season. We have an attractive fixture at Beaulieu next week and should win as they are in the bottom two.

Acting as captain in the absence of Dan who had become a father for the first time earlier in the week, I was fortunate to win the toss and chose to bat. The score of 126 for 2 seemed to justify the decision but a typical collapse meant a final score of just 151, the final 8 wickets falling for 25! It still seemed enough and sure enough a six wicket haul by John meant Verwood won with 13 runs to spare.
