SATURDAY - 1st XI defeat & 2nd (no game)

09 May 2011

BMCC 1st XI played at Sandal CC and suffered a defeat despite managing a respectable 190 for 7. Good knock from Dave Rhodes (42) and Will Drury (45). Sandal CC managed to reach the score in 40 overs losing 5 wickets in the process. Reasonable bowling from Mick Cass 2 for 27 off 14 overs, Jordan Midgley 1 for 43 off 9.2 and Robbo 1 for 49 off 11 overs.
We looked to be a few runs short of par and maybe a bowler light. This was due to late withdrawals yet again. Thanks to Josh Bell for filling in at the last minute.

The 2nd XI had an eventful hour or so at home to Normanton St Johns. Firstly only 5 Normanton players turned up three were stuck somewhere in a car with a puncture (they didn't make it). Three were lost in Doncaster town centre. They eventually arrived, by this time the captian had given up and conceded. The funny thing was, they won the toss and decided to field (with 5 players). Not allowed why on earth he didn't choose to bat and give his guys a chance to get there. Brain Loversuch sportingly offered to let them bat first, by this time the guys head had exploded and he just took off.
Good sports, the three who turned up late got changed and had a knock about with us!  10 points to BMCC 2nds!!!
