Our mid-week team started the season with an exciting win last Thursday away against Sabden.
Sabden batting first posted a great score of 151/4 off their 15 overs and it looked like a tall order to achieve a winning total in the light that was fading fast .Dan Young and Ibby opened the batting and got Nelson off to a great start both having to retire at 30
Ben Thurston and James Young kept the momentum going and also had to retire when reaching 30, the score looking good and up with the required run rate ….. Chris Moore playing his first game for the club was starved of the strike and Sabden took with wickets of Ben Rothwell, Chris Hodgeson, Steve Turner and Mark Berry without any runs being scored
Two overs to go and Chris at the wicket he scored 14 off the next to last over which proved to be an important knock …leaving 4 required from the final over and only 2 wickets left .. a couple of singles from the first few balls and with 3 balls to go Flnn middled a great shot through mid wicket for 4 to win the game
A great advert for mid-week social cricket to start the season..
The next game is Thursday 14th May at Seedhill v Clitheroe starting at 18.00 why not call down and watch and grab a beer
