Match Report by Lewis Chambers

The Bures skipper won the toss and elected to bat. Slow wicket and VERY long outfield suggested a low score. Home team obliged and in their allotted 33 overs mustered 114. James Lee batted well for 40, with other contributors along the way.

Visitors reply started badly after a juicy full toss from McKenna to open the innings, which was despatched for four, he quickly settled and turned in a stunning performance netting 7 wickets! Twinstead unused to chasing any sort of total quickly settled for stodge. Their innings lacked any ambition to win the game, notwithstanding the meagre score of the home team. To some derision the eighth wicket partnership patted back the final four overs of the innings scoring just 3 runs; with 8 overs to go the visitors needed approx 45 runs for victory. Hardly onerous. Final score 71 for 8.

Back to the Swan; the best part of the day lay ahead (apart from Pat's bowling).
