Denton 274-7, Thornham 141 all out
Saturday’s game saw us facing Thornham who at the start of the day were level on points with us at the bottom of the league. Fossil won the toss for a change and decided we would have a bat. Good decision. The sun was beating down, the barbecue was getting started, perfect day for cricket. Stan was back off his sick bed and opened the batting with Andy Leech. The rest obviously did him the world of good, he was awesome out there, people were asking who he was cos it was a new Stan out there. We had three players with 50+ scores, Stan with 61, Ste with 63 and 54 for the Aussie. Martin Parker chipped in with 43 from 19 balls and one of the biggest sixes I have ever seen. We ended on 274 for 7 after the 50 overs. A tough task for Thornham but we were all aware that they had chased down a score of 250 earlier in the season. Andy Neill had another great day with the ball claiming another 5 wickets, Omar got 2 and Janak returned figures of 3 wickets for 14 runs. A mention for Jonny the blocker Mac as well who continued his recent great form behind the stumps with another 4 victims today. A well deserved 5 points which due to results elsewhere lifted us to 12th in the table.
