Rainham Cricket Club VS Conchords B
After two wins on the bounce which has seen Rainham climb into mid table, the run looked to be bowling on with the visit of Conchords B side.
The team had one change from last week’s victory. Unfortunately the finisher from last week Gary was ill and so fresh from his holiday in the USA, Paul Swaine returned to hopefully pick up where Gary left off.
The game actually turned out to be enteraining affair as the tide swung between these two mid table teams. Tony improved on his setting and won 2 of them. For checkouts, Tony managed one of 22 whereas Paul Fry managed two checkouts of 20 and 40 respectively. The final result of 3-3 was fair of these two teams as neither had much to play for in the league.
For averages, Tony improved to a 56.3 and was quite a way ahead of Paul Fry who got 49.6. Gary's replacement Paul Swaine finished fourth with an average of 47.6 just behind Foz. In the battle of the washing up, Barry scored 35.4 which beat Ed's 27.4. However, Ed left early and so it was left to Barry to wash up.
In the doubles, Tony and Paul Swaine lost the opener but only just. Paul Fry and Foz managed to win their match and so it came down to the final doubles match. With no partner, Barry was forced to play with the scorer AKA yours truely. Even though we lost together, I actually had a good game and did not score anything below double figures ( Not to blow my own horn much ).
Overall a mixed bag of emotions for the cricket club as they feel the win was possible but it just 'slipped' from their grasp and disappeared behind the 'covers' of the night.
