Ahoy There! 

A well balanced crew of youth and experience comprehensively beat a weakened Real Oddies side on Sunday.   Oddies were all out for 85 which would have been much worse but for 33 extras including new fewer than 26 wides.   Ali M-L was the pick of the bowlers with in-swinging Yorkers and Charlie L worried the openers whilst others mopped up the lower order.   Pick of the dismissals was by Matt Wadling who had Tennent  caught brilliantly by his dad – Andy Wadling – in the gulley.  The latter was a revelation all game.

The score was overtaken in just 19 overs thanks to a powerful  54 not out from Charlie Lovejoy which included nine 4s.   He was rightly awarded Pirate of the Week (sponsored by Fun & Games) but was overshadowed by Pete Pearson from Oddies and Alex Hammond from the 1sts who still looked more like a pirate than he did (see gallery).  

Porky.
