Run chase falls short after spirited bowling and fielding display

Accurate bowling from Thorpey and Ash ensured things were not easy for Kirby Muxloe, wickets fell at regular intervals with only Scott Hammond and Josh Davis able to dig in. Toony took 3 wickets in probably his best spell of the season and Gaz also took 3 aided by 2 good catches by Ash.

In reply the batting never got going, early wickets put us behind the eight ball, with only Sy looking threatening. In fact Sy dominated the innings hitting 3 maximums and 4 boundaries in his 66 not out. Extras contributed 28 as Countesthorpe were dismissed for 136 A big chance of a victory missed and with time running out it is now or never if relegation is to be avoided
