This was probably the hottest day of the season so far so was a tough game from the start.
Ed won the toss and decided to have a bowl.
The match started well with Dessie taking a wicket in his first over, but Bec were scoring their runs quite freely from the start. St Lukes took wickets at regular intervals but too many dropped catches hurt us. Bec ended their innings on 178 all out probably 50+ runs more then they should have had.
Karl did his best to give us a good start scoring a quick 20 but only two other batsman reached double figure Ed (16) and Dougs (15no). In the end St Lukes reach a very disappointing 80 all out which included 4 ducks (2 golden)
On the whole a disappointing match, the bowlers did their job very well but were not backed up in the field but we never would have got the runs with the way we batted.
Man of the match – Dessie Heynes
