Hornsey Cricket Club 3rd Team v Harrow CC on Sat 31 May 2008 at 13.00
Hornsey Cricket Club Won
Hornsey IIIs v Harrow IIIs
Hornsey IIIs won by two wickets
Harrow 153 all out (39.4 overs)
Hornsey 154-8 (34.3 overs; Joe Jermotte 38)
The 3s started late after Harrow turned up at Peter May instead of St Aloysius, so the game was restricted to 80 overs. On a slightly dodgy wicket this still gave us plenty of time to squeeze out a tight two-wicket win and jump to the top of the league table. JS won the toss and put Harrow in who were bowled out for 153 in 40 overs. Ashraf bowled 19 superb overs, getting a lot of swing and taking 3 wickets. He was well supported by Johnny Bruce, taking 3 wickets on one ankle, and Scott Haughton with 2 wkts.
Our reply started well with Disco making 30 before a spate of wickets left us in trouble at 77-5. Jo Jermotte (who made an attacking 38) and an injury-prone Mark Penketh got us close, before 3 more quick wickets set up a nervous finish. It was left to the skipper (who has decided to employ only the cut shot this season) to hit the winning runs.
Quote of the day came from JS: "Who is Marty Tucker?!!!"
