Another outstanding batting performance by Andy Allon, not without a few close calls and a lot of verbal from the keeper Furness to both players and umpire, saw him reach his 3^rd 100 in 4 games, a good effort.
  Some great support also from all those in the top of the order, Pardip, Hickers, Towsey and Wrenny, scoring late twenties and thirties, some excellent running between the wickets, working around Andy was also very creditable. Unfortunately apart from Hobo the middle to lower order were’nt so hot this week collapsing miserably, although Lawsie did continue his run on runs with a few at the end. Even so a score of 240 on Walmers pitch, and according to the groundsman is only second to Sibton’s (!!!!!!) was a very good effort.

In reply we bowled ok to start with Dom having one of the openers caught off a no ball, but Walmer got off to a flyer mainly because they hit through the ball hard (teeing off!) so any edges flew over the slips. Walmer were 101 off 16 overs without loss so were easily on target. Unfortunately the ugly incident involving the mouthy Furness was not part of the plan as AA taking a flying ball in the midrift at slip, a little juggle, claiming the catch quite legitimately, the batsman took it upon himself to scream at the umpire he dropped it and point repeatedly to the floor.
   Unfortunately both umpires were unsighted so quite rightly could not give it out, and these days an honest claim for a catch by a fielding team with everyone going up is obviously not enough for some, so we just got on with it, not without a few chirps of course. A couple of overs later he was dismissed anyway in an unlikely fashion and caught at slip! After that the others just seemed to tumble with myself picking up a couple, to slips (and one dropped at slip!), Heathy getting one and Lawsie coming on and picking up 4 fer, with the obligatory one for AA.
