Match tied!
In a pulsating finish this match ended in a very exciting tie.
Sutton batted first and with some steady sensible batting from Sam Wright Justin Harvey and Dhiraj Patel the hosts set a target of 85.
In reply the young Popinjays put their customary pythonesque squeeze on the visitors.
Good early bowling from James Yanek Dhiraj and Dan L followed by good spells from Thomas, Daniel M and Justin. Toran delivered a great couple of overs getting 2 wickets and the death bowlers Sam and Will warmed to their task. With some very good feilding the visitors suffered 3 run outs in the final stages as the temperature rose. With 2 runs needed for the win off the final delivery the ball was spooned up, confusion ! a possible catch was dropped, more confusion ! the batsmen tried the second run but one of the batsman was run out !
Mayhem !!!
Oh what a finish; what a great game this cricket is; and everyone went home happy. Click here to return to the News page
