Brentham CC v Hornsey Cricket Club 3rd Team on Sat 02 Jul 2005 at
Hornsey Cricket Club Lost 7 Wickets
Hornsey needed a victory to avoid entering into the relegation zone and the team selected looked capable of posting a competitive score, which would help a week bowling attack.
Loosing the toss Hornsey were put into the bat with Syed & Welch opening up on a terrific ground at RAF Uxbridge. Welch having finally made single figures was now looking to extend it further and Syed fresh from a spell with the seconds wishing to capitalise on his previous third team form. Despite a slow start both openers set about building an innings with the 50 partnership coming up in the 17th Over. Syed looked very solid despite some unpleasant sledging from the Brentham half wit in the slips and a piece of blatant cheating by the bowler in a run out attempt….shame the ball was not in his hand. However Syed managed to secure a 50 but was soon out a run later an 82 partnership. Welch, half way through the season, had finally got some runs 29 with the Hornsey score on 92. From then on it was down hill for Hornsey. Jo Arthurs back in his first Hornsey game of the season picking up 20 runs of 23 balls the pick of the remaining players. The innings closed on 156 all out.
Bruce and Giles opened the bowling with Giles bowling poorly. Bruce persevered picking up 2/58 and picking up the tongue of the Brentham half wit who’s IQ was put under question by Bruce. However it was the half wit who steered Brentham home for the loss of three wickets with Syed, Myall, Cincotta and Peters all bowling. Peters newly developed off spin taking the 3rd and final wicket.
Over all, other than Syed’s fifty, a disappointing life less game.
Will the second half of the season bring the results to keep Hornsey away from relegation…we live in hope.
