Indoor Team Get off to a Flyer

With players showing interest in the 2009 indoor season, the start was eagerly anticipated. First game was against Little Chart and indoor skipper, Paul Webb, duly won the toss and invited Little Chart to bat.

7 runs came off the first, including the only wide conceded by Bilsington, bowled by Paul. Alan, making his indoor debut, bowled tightly causing the batsman a few problems. Danny also bowled a tight first over. Trev struck with his first ball, caught by Paul to dismiss one of the openers. The fielding was tight, the bowling tighter as Danny struck with the first ball of his next over, this time caught by Matt. Another wicket from Trev, caught by Alan was soon followed by three run outs, first by Matt, then by Alan, then Paul as Little Chart subsided to 45 all out in 7.1 overs.

In reply, Trev and Sean started things off. Taking their time to size up the bowling but runs started to flow. Nothing stupid was necessary and despite a few close calls, they slowly made in roads into the target. A change of bowling by Little Chart saw the first boundary six scored by Sean and victory duly came in less than 7 overs for the loss of no wickets.

A seemingly ruthless display by Bilsington with team manager, Tim Cragg, stating that it was more nervous watching both innings rather than playing!! Tim also added that this was the best we had bowled for some time.

Well done lads. Roll on Ashford next week
