In spite of only nine players having arrived, Jack won the toss and elected to field. The team fielded well and Jack managed the bowling options to restrict the run scoring and to take regular wickets. As a result, the visitors were bowled out for 85.
Given that the Lucid Lions had brought a sizable tea with them, it was decided to go straight into the Castlethorpe innings before tackling the food!
Ian and Jack opened the batting with Ian hitting the first ball for four. Together they put on a stand of seventeen before Ian was bowled for eleven. Aaron joined Jack and also opened his account with a four! He totalled just two more than Ian before he was also bowled. Alex and Jack then saw the innings through to its conclusion, securing a grand total of 89 with a four off the last ball bowled.
Both teams then retired to the pavilion to choose what they wanted from the tea before settling in the sun to enjoy it. The match and the feast were exactly in keeping with a friendly match. Thank you to the Lucid Lions and their amazing support for making it such an enjoyable day for all.
